The following fields should be defined in order to configure your ftp server on Babelway platform:

Username

Login or username to access your account on Babelway ftp server. This username must be unique as it will be linked to a specific directory on ftp server.

Password

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 received by the ftp server, it is processed in the 90 seconds (default polling interval) max. After processing, the original file is removed from server.

  • If you are using an ftp server both as incoming and outgoing gateways, you cannot use the same login for both gateway servers.
