When to use

Use FTP/FTPS when the supplier posts the price list or balances on the server.

Setting procedure

  1. Create an FTP/FTPS source.
  2. Select FTP or FTPS protocol.
  3. Specify the host, port if necessary, and the full path to the file.
  4. Fill in your login and password if the server is not anonymous.
  5. Check access and then retrieve the file.
  6. Set up a schedule for regular updates.

What to check

  • The path includes the file name, such as /export/catalog.xlsx.
  • The port matches the protocol and settings of the vendor's server.
  • After downloading, the file is visible in the source.

Notes

  • SFTP for delivering the result is configured in the profile as an external channel, and FTP/FTPS is used here to receive the source.
  • When changing the file on the server, save the same link and path so that the schedule continues to work.
