Ftp type

When creating this type of connector, you need to define values for the following settings:

• Basic settings tab:
  • Name (required)—a unique name for this type of resource. Must contain 1 to 128 Unicode characters.
  • Tenant (required)—name of the tenant that owns the resource.
  • Type (required)—connector type, ftp.
  • URL (required)—actual URL of the file or file mask beginning with 'ftp://'. For a file mask, you can use * ? [...].

    File mask templates

    Masks:

    • '*'—matches any sequence of characters.
    • '[' [ '^' ] { range of characters } ']'—class of characters (should not be left blank).
    • '?'—matches any single character.

    Ranges of characters:

    • [0-9]—digits;
    • [a-zA-Z]—Latin alphabet characters.

    Examples:

    • /var/log/*som?[1-9].log
    • /mnt/dns_logs/*/dns.log
    • /mnt/proxy/access*.log

    If the URL does not include the FTP server port, port 21 is inserted.

  • URL credentials—for specifying the user name and password for the FTP server. If there is no user name and password, the line remains empty.
  • Description—resource description: up to 4,000 Unicode characters.
• Advanced settings tab:
  • Character encoding setting specifies character encoding. The default value is UTF-8.
  • Debug—a toggle switch that lets you specify whether resource logging must be enabled. By default, this toggle switch is in the Disabled position.
