1.4.3. Ftp Client Gateway In

See: Managing Channels - Manage a Channel

With a Ftp Client Input Gateway, incoming messages are transfered to an external Ftp server. Babelway platform polls this server at regular intervals and retrieves incoming files to process them.

To create a ftp client gateway, select an existing template or make a copy of the generic Ftp client template in the catalogue and following screen will be displayed.

Figure 1.13. Ftp client gateway in configuration

The following fields should be defined in order to configure access to your external ftp server:

Server	External ftp server adress where Babelway platform should fetch messages.
Username	Login or username to access files on this external ftp server.
Password	Password associated to previous username to access account.
Directory	Directory where files are to be fetched on the server.
Passive Mode	Indicates that the ftp connection is in passive. Setting this to true means the ftp client will establish two connection to the ftpserver client.
Polling Interval	Interval of times in seconds between checking for message arrival.
Post Process Delete	Delete file once it has been retrieved and processed.
Post Process Suffix	The file suffix which will be added to the file name after it is processed.
Post Process Directory	The ftp directory to which the file will be moved after it is processed by the ESB
Error Delete	If true, the file will be deleted if an error occurs during processing. Note that in that case error-directory and error-suffix have no effect.
Error Suffix	The file suffix which will be added to the file name after an error occurs during processing.
Error Directory	The ftp directory to which the file will be moved after when an error occurs during processing.
Input Suffix	The file suffix used to filter files targeted for comsumption by the ESB (note: add the dot, so something like '.esbIn'). This can also be specified as an empty string to specify that all files should be retrieved.

After channel deployment, your ftp server will be available to send messages. You can access this ftp server using any ftp client software set up with the previous account parameters.

When a message is transfered to the ftp server, it is processed immediately then original file is removed from server.

À quoi servent les paramètres non (encore) documentés ?
Y a-t-il une valeur min (et max) pour l'intervalle de polling ?
Selon le forum, "FTP Gateway with a SSL certificat", il est possible de régler le protocole sur ftps dans les "advanced properties", or il n'y a pas de tel paramètre ni dans les propriétés avancées, ni des les paramètres normaux... Quand est-il ?
