Example: server to server transfer without touchdown:

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

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 start this with the command line client one must type

Code Block
 jade.sh -settings=name_of_settings_file -profile=ftp_server_2_server

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

Code Block
 [wilma_as_source]
 ssh_auth_method=password
 
 source_user=kb
 source_password=*****
 source_ssh_auth_method=password
 source_host=wilma.sos
 source_protocol=sftp
 source_port=22
Code Block
 [8of9_as_target]
 target_user=test
 target_password=*****
 target_host=8of9.sos
 target_protocol=ftp
 target_port=21
Code Block
 [globals]
 log_filename=$\{TEMP\}/sosftphistory.log

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

Now we will specify the profile again:

Code Block
 [ftp_server_2_server]
 include=wilma_as_source,8of9_as_target
 operation=copy
 file_spec=^.*\.txt$
Code Block
 [ftp_more]
 include=wilma_as_source,8of9_as_target
 operation=move
 file_spec=^.*\.(txt|pdf|dat)$
 source_folder=/outbound/daily
 target_folder=/inbound/transfer

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