Canvas now enables you to connect with FTP servers for secured transfer of files (CSV, XLS, XSLX formats). The user can transfer as well as receive files from the FTP server in a secured manner. You can easily connect to FTP servers and perform actions like sending and receiving files with limited configuration steps.
Prerequisites
To create FTP connections, make sure to copy all the JAR files from the following location in the CT platform binary:
- \Intellect Digital Enterprise Platform-20.1.0.0-full.zip\Intellect Digital Enterprise Platform-20.1.0.0-full\Supporting_Jars\Camel_Jars\FTP_Jars
And place those files in your application WAR files on the app or web server. For example, <Tomcat-Installed-Folder>\webapps\ctmodelhouse\WEB-INFlib folder in the above mentioned path.
