SFTP Input
The SFTP Input task retrieves files from a secure FTP site through an encrypted connection. Masks
are typically used to select multiple files to be retrieved from the server.
The SFTP Input and "SFTP Output" on page551 tasks are part of a separate installer and are not
included in the Workflow installer. The SFTP plugin installer can be downloaded from the Resource
Center, under 'Plugins' in PReS Connect.
Input
The SFTP Input connects to the specified FTP server and path, and retrieves a list of all files cor-
responding to the specified mask. These files may be of any format, even formats that are not readable
by PReS Workflow. The files are not deleted from the server when they are downloaded. They are
added to a list of processed files for this server. These lists are located under C:\ProgramData\Objectif
Lune\.
Processing
Each file captured by the input is sent down through the process, one at a time. When the file is fin-
ished, the process goes back to the input which feeds another file down, as long as there are files in the
queue. Once all the files are gone, the task polls the FTP folder again to see if new files are present
and, if so, the process continues with these files. Otherwise, the process ends.
Output
The output of this task is a series of individual files, one after the other. These files are not modified in
any way from when they are captured from the source FTP server.
