Using the FTP service

You can interact with the FTP service by developing a process in Workbench that uses the service. You can accomplish the following tasks by using the FTP service:

  • Specify the default host, port, and user credentials to connect to the FTP server

  • Retrieve a list of files that reside in a directory on an FTP server

  • Retrieve multiple files from the FTP server based on a file name pattern

  • Retrieve a file from the FTP server and save it to the file system of the LiveCycle server

  • Retrieve the contents of a file from the FTP server and save the contents as process data

  • Upload process data to a directory on the FTP server and save the data as a file

  • Upload one or more document values to the FTP server

  • Upload a file from the file system of the LiveCycle server to a directory on the FTP server

  • Delete a file from the FTP server

    For information about developing processes that use this service, see Workbench Help.

    You can use the Applications and Services pages of Administration Console to configure default properties for this service. (See FTP service settings in LiveCycle Administration Console Help.)
