Introduction
The main features of FTP file transfer are:
- Only basic authentication - e.g. 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.
...
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.

A Simple FTP File Transfer Example Configuration
...
The configuration for a simple file transfer as shown in the SOS XML Editor is shown in the screen shot below.(The transfer is carried out per FTP from a remote server to the local file system and password authentication is required for the remote server.)
This file transfer profile would be started by calling the XML configuration file and the profile in that file that is to be used.
The calls for Windows and Unix systems respectively would be:
| Status | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|

jade.cmd -settings="%USERPROFILE%\jade_demo\jade_user_manual_configuration.xml" -profile="ftp_server_2_local" |
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
./jade.sh -settings="${HOME}/jade_demo/jade_user_manual_configuration.xml" -profile="ftp_server_2_local" |
The example shown in the Editor screen shot above clearly shows the organization of the configuration in the editor's left hand pane:
...
- See The Operation Parameter for more information
...
- This referencing technique allows a number of Fragment elements to be specified within a Configuration and used as desired.
