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
-URL adapter command for the
GET > Source > Command and PUT > Target > Command settings.
See Chapter 3 - FTP Commands for more information on FTP adapter commands
and their syntax. For general information about commands, refer to the Resource

(because the file name is omitted) from the host computer:
-URL FTP://host/c:/forms/

schemes that involve the direct use of an IP-based protocol for a specified host on
the Internet use the following common syntax for scheme-specific data:
//user:password@host:port/url_path

user:password@, :password, :port, and /url_path may
be excluded. The scheme-specific data start with a double slash (
//) to indicate
that it complies with the common Internet scheme syntax. The
user:password
component conforms to the following rules:
user An optional user name. Some schemes allow the specification of a
user name.
password An optional password. When present, it follows the user name and is
separated by a colon. The user name and password are followed by
