Configuration Example

A profile definition for Server-to-Server transferFile Transfer, from SFTP to FTP:

 [ftp_server_2_server_with_polling]
 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

  poll_interval         = 60
  poll_minfiles         = 1
  poll_timeout          = 0
 
 log_filename=${TEMP}/sosftphistory.log

In this example all files with the file name extension .txt should be transferred from the server wilma via SFTP to the server 8of9 by FTP. JADE YADE will do the polling on the source server for specific files.

...

 jade.sh -settings=name_of_settings_file -profile=ftp_server_2_server_with_polling

To make the profile more reusable and more readable it is possible to organize profiles by fragments like this:

...

The include parameter will include the named profile snippets in the order they are defined. The globals profile is included automatically, no need to specifiy it in an include parameter.
The profiles have to be defined in the same settings file.
