Modularizing Profiles: include directive

An Example Transfer Profile

A profile definition for Server to Server transfer, from a sftp to a ftp server:

Code Block

 [ftp_server_2_server]
 ssh_auth_method=password
 
 source_user=kb
 source_password=*****
 source_ssh_auth_method=password
 source_host=wilma.sos
 source_protocol=sftp
 source_port=22
 
 target_user=test
 target_password=*****
 target_host=8of9.sos
 target_protocol=ftp
 target_port=21
 
 file_spec=^.*\.txt$
 operation=copy
 
 log_filename=$\{TEMP\}/sosftphistory.log

In this example all files with the file name extension ".txt" should be transfered from the server "wilma" via sftp to the server 8of9 by ftp. the folders are not explicitely specified and therefore the "home" folders of the user are selected.

...

To make the profile more reusable and readable it is possible to reuse profiles snipets in the way like this:

Code Block

 [wilma]
 user=kb
 password=*****
 ssh_auth_method=password
 host=wilma.sos
 protocol=sftp
 port=22

 [8of9]
 user=test
 password=*****
 host=8of9.sos
 protocol=ftp
 port=21

 [globals]
 log_filename=$\{TEMP\}/sosftphistory.log

The profiles for wilma and 8of9 are defined only once. They could be used as many time as needed in different transfer profiles. There is a "globals" profile as well.

...

Now we will specify the transfer profile again:

Code Block

 [ftp_server_2_server]
 source_include=wilma
 target_include=8of9
 operation=copy
 file_spec=^.*\.txt$
   
 [ftp_more]
 target_include=wilma
 source_include=8of9
 operation=move
 file_spec=^.*\.(txt|pdf|dat)$
 source_folder=/outbound/daily
 target_folder=/inbound/transfer

...
