• YADE can make use of different protocols when reading files from a source and writing files to a target system.
• Any combination of FTP, FTPS, SFTP, HTTP, WebDAV can be used for sources and targets.

...

File Transfer without touchdown

A profile definition for Server-to-Server file transfer File Transfer using SFTP for the source system and FTP for the target system:

...

To start this example with the JADE YADE Client CLI one must you could type:

 jade.sh -settings=name_of_settings_file -profile=ftp_server_2_server

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

...

The profile fragments for wilma as source and 8of9 as target are defined just once. They could be used as many times as needed. There is a globals profile as well.

...

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