Parameter |
Description |
| FTPServer |
Select the name of an FTP server data instance to use for this file transfer. |
| RemoteFile |
Specify the relative path to the destination directory specified on the FTP service. Use forward slashes regardless of whether the FTP Service is running on Windows or Linux. For example, if the FTP directory on the FTP service is set to c:\ftp, specify the relative path as a blank path between quotes: "" If the c:\ftp directory on the fTP service has a documents directory under it, c:\ftp\documents, specify the relative path as: "documents" You can enter a property name, property reference or expression that at runtime evaluates to the remote file path. |
| LocalFile |
Identify the source file path and file name. Use syntax appropriate to the operating system that hosts the Pega Platform server. If the path contains backslash characters, escape each backslash character by doubling it. You can enter a property name, property reference or expression that at runtime evaluates to the local file path and name. |
