Introduction
The main features of FTP file transfer are: TOBE COMPLETED
- Only basic authentication - e.g. authentication with an account name and optionally a password - can be carried out.
Specification of FTP File Transfer Elements
The key element in the JADE XML schema for the specification of a file transfer by FTP is the FTPFragmentRef element. This element is part of the Profiles branch of the schema and a direct descendant of operation source or target elements such as CopySource or MoveTarget. The FTPFragmentRef element can be specified for the source and/or target parts of the operation.
The FTPFragmentRef element itself contains a reference to the FTPFragment to be used for this part of the transfer. FTPFragment elements are specified in the Fragments branch of the schema and may not be specific to the current transfer operation
Note that the FTPFragment reference, which is specified as a name attribute of the FTPFragmentRef element, is not shown in the XSD schema hierarchy diagram below.
In addition, as shown in the first diagram below, the FTPFragmentRef element has three child elements that are optional but define aspects of the operation that are FTP-specific: FTPPreProcessing, FTPPostProcessing and Rename. These elements are described in detail below.
