Profile for Server-to-Server File Transfer without touchdown
A profile definition for Server-to-Server File Transfer using SFTP for the source system and FTP for the target system:
[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=${TEMP}/sosftphistory.log
In this example all files with the extension .txt should be transfered from the server wilma via SFTP to the server 8of9 by FTP. The folder is not explicitely specified and therefore the home folder of the user will be chosen.
To start this example with the JADE Client CLI you could type:
jade.sh -settings=name_of_settings_file -profile=ftp_server_2_server
To make the profile reusable and more readable it is possible to organise profile fragments like this:
[wilma_as_source]
ssh_auth_method=password
source_user=kb
source_password=*****
source_ssh_auth_method=password
source_host=wilma.sos
source_protocol=sftp
source_port=22
[8of9_as_target]
target_user=test
target_password=*****
target_host=8of9.sos
target_protocol=ftp
target_port=21
[globals]
log_filename=${TEMP}/sosftphistory.log
The 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.
Now we will specify the profile using fragments:
[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 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.
