Advanced FTP V2 Connector enables you to securely transfer to and from FTP servers.
When you transfer files to and from an FTP server, you can specify the Secure Agent. When you use FTP objects in file ingestion tasks, you configure properties specific to FTP.
Create an Advanced FTP V2 connection and use the connection as a source or as a target in file ingestion tasks and B2B Gateway partner flows.
When you create an Advanced FTP V2 connection, you specify the runtime environment that contains the Secure Agent. Create an Advanced FTP V2 connection to specify the location of FTP sources or targets that you want to include in a file ingestion task and B2B Gateway partner flows.
When you run a file ingestion task, the Secure Agent transfers files to or from an FTP server, based on the task and the Advanced FTP V2 connection configuration. The Secure Agent connects and reads files from and writes files to the FTP server through a TCP/IP network.
When you use an Advanced FTP V2 source in a file ingestion task, you can schedule the task to receive notifications from a file listener.
Example
You work for an organization that stores audit trail logs in an on-premises FTP server. You need to move data from the on-premises FTP site to an affordable cloud-based environment. Create a file ingestion task to read all the audit trail logs from the FTP server and write them to an Amazon S3 target.
