Settings

(1) Channel selection: Here you can select a channel of type "SSH".

(2) Target system/Port: DNS name or IP address of the FTP server and the port of the FTP server. A value greater than 0 overrides the port of a selected channel. If value 0 is set, the port set in the channel is used.

(3) Directory: The target directory.

(4) Temp. file: Name of the temporary file during the transfer of the data. If a value is entered in this field, the data is first transferred to a temporary file on the destination system. After the file has been transferred successfully, the temporary file is renamed to the final destination file. The name of the temporary file can be set as follows.

• The content of the field is appended as a suffix to the file name. Example: If the value .tmp is entered in the field, the temporary file order4711.csv.tmp is created when transferring the file order4711.csv. Note: If no leading dot is specified, it will be inserted automatically. The suffix tmp would therefore lead to the same result.

• The content of the field is prefixed to the file name. Example: If the value tmp is entered in the field, the temporary file tmporder4711.csv is created when the file order4711.csv is transferred.

• The content of the field is used as the name of the temporary file, regardless of the file name. Example: If the value tmp.csv is entered in the field, the temporary file tmp.csv is created when the file order4711.csv is transferred.

(5) File: The file name pattern of the file to be transferred.

(6) Control file: After a successful transfer of the data, a control file can be generated on the target system. You can also choose between Suffix, Prefix and Name. Example: If the value .ctrl is entered (and Suffix is selected), the control file order4711.csv.ctrl is created after the transfer of the file order4711.csv. If the placeholders <file>, <file-prefix> or <basefile> are used, the content of the field is no longer interpreted as a suffix, but as the name of the control file. You can use variables. Additionally, you can use placeholder <lines> for the number of lines in the output data if you use the output formats (Content) CSV, Excel or Fix record. If you use value as received in field Content, this placeholder will not be properly resolved. Please use the system variable VAR_SYS_LINES instead.

(7) Accept keys: Indicates whether all keys of the server are accepted, or only the key specified in (9). The key can be fetched from the destination server with button (10).

(8) Type of key: Indicates what type of key it is. At the moment, only the type RSA is supported.

(9) Key fingerprint: The key that is expected of the server. If the server does not deliver the entered key, the connection will not be established.

(10) Retrieve key: The key type (8) and the fingerprint (9) can be fetched from the destination computer. Note: Key type and fingerprint are taken from a selected partner channel of type "SSH".

(11) Transmit empty data: If this checkbox is set, empty files are transferred as well.

(12) Mark whole job as failed if this response fails: Normally a job is not necessarily considered to be erroneous if a single Response fails (see section Status of Response - Error Behaviour). But it can be enforced with this option here.

(13) Additional text on error: Here you can specify an additional log text for the error case.
