You can exchange files with your partners using advanced file servers and file transfer protocols.
Configure file transfer servers and file transfer users to allow remote partners to send files from AS2, HTTPS, and SFTP servers to your Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services organization, and to receive files that you send to HTTPS and SFTP servers.
Configure the file server properties on the File Servers page in Administrator. Configuration includes properties such as file server details, encryption methods, and allowed file types. For more information about configuring file servers, see File transfer in the Administrator help.
To exchange files with a partner using advanced file servers, you select the file servers connection when you configure the partner flow. For more information, see Partners.
You can enable your trading partners to send and receive files over HTTPS through B2B Partners Portal. For more information, see the B2B Partners Portal help.
You can monitor file transfer jobs on the File Transfer Logs page in Monitor. For information, see the Monitor help.
Alternatively, you can use the following advanced FTP connectors to exchange files with your partners:
•Advanced FTP V2 Connector
•Advanced FTPS V2 Connector
•Advanced SFTP V2 Connector
For more information about the advanced FTP connectors, see the respective connector guides.
File server users
Create a user account for each partner that sends files from an AS2, HTTPS, or SFTP server to your organization or receives files that you send to an HTTPS or SFTP server for the partner. The user account enables the partner to upload files to your file servers and to download files that you upload to your file servers for the partner.
You don't need to configure file server users when you use the advanced FTP connectors.
For each partner, configure the following types of properties:
•General properties such as user name, email address, and password.
•Server-specific properties such as the remote server ID, certificate information, and the upload or download folder.
Note: File server user accounts are different from Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services user accounts. File server user accounts enable partner users to send files to your organization's file servers. Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services user accounts enable your users to access your Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services organization.
For more information about configuring file server users, see File transfer in the Administrator help.
