Server to Server Transfer without touchdown
Transfer Schema
Configuration Example
A profile definition for Server to Server transfer, from SFTP to FTP:
[ftp_server_2_server_with_polling]
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
poll_interval = 60
poll_minfiles = 1
poll_timeout = 0
log_filename=$\{TEMP\}/sosftphistory.log
In this example all files with the file name extension .txt should be transferred from the server wilma via SFTP to the server 8of9 by FTP. JADE will do the polling on the source server for specific files.
To start this with the command line client one must type:
jade.sh -settings=name_of_settings_file -profile=ftp_server_2_server_with_polling
To make the profile more reusable and readable it is possible to organize profiles in a way 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 = ${TEMP}/sosftphistory.log
[globals_polling]
poll_interval = 60
poll_minfiles = 1
poll_timeout = 0
The profiles for wilma as source and 8of9 as target are defined once. They could be used as many times as needed. There is a globals profile as well.
Now we will specify the profile again:
[ftp_server_2_server_with_polling] include = globals , globals_polling source_include = wilma_as_source target_include = 8of9_as_target operation = move file_spec = ^.*\.txt$ [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 in the order they are defined. The globals profile is included automatically, no need to specifiy it in an include parameter.
The profiles have to be defined in the same settings file.
