FTP Task

The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) Task is an improved scheduled FTP task that supports secured FTP connection.

You can use the File Pattern table to filter the files to be transferred during the FTP upload or download. You can enter a specific file name or a file pattern in the File Pattern column so that the FTP task only transfers the files that satisfy the criteria set in the File Pattern table. If a number is entered in the File Count column, the FTP task waits for the files in the source folder to reach the number specified before transferring.
