Chapter 4 - Syntax Summary Using FTP Adapter Commands

Using FTP Adapter Commands

Use the adapter commands from the Map Designer or Integration Flow Designer as the data source of an input map card and as the data target for an output map card. You can also use the adapter on the command line or in a map rule using the functions GET, PUT, or RUN.

The FTP adapter requires the -URLadapter command for the

-URL FTP://host/c:/forms/
