Profile for Server-to-Server file transfer without touchdown

A profile definition for Server-to-Server file transfer , from SFTP to FTPusing SFTP for the source system and FTP for the target system:

Code Block
languagetext
 [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 extension .txt should be transfered from the server wilma via SFTP to the server 8of9 by FTP. The folder is not explicitely specified and therefore the home folder of the user will be chosen.

To start this sample example with the JADE Client CLI one must type:

...

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

Code Block
languagetext
 [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

 [8of9_as_target]
 target_user=test
 target_password=*****
 target_host=8of9.sos
 target_protocol=ftp
 target_port=21

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

 

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

Now we will specify the profile againusing fragments:

Code Block
languagetext
 [ftp_server_2_server]
 include=wilma_as_source,8of9_as_target
 operation=copy
 file_spec=^.*\.txt$
   
 [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 profile snippets fragments in the order they are defined. The globals profile is included automatically, no need to specifiy it in an include parameter. The profiles profile fragments have to be defined in the same settings file.
