Sigma now enables you to connect with FTP servers for secured transfer of files (CSV, PDF, XLS, DOCX, HTML, XML and TXT 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 the limited configuration steps.

Prerequisites

To create FTP connections, make sure to copy all the JAR files from the following folder in the CT Sigma platform binary package

  • ..\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\sigma\WEB-INF\lib folder in the above mentioned path.

Perform the following steps to create an FTP server connection in Sigma Studio:

  1. On the home page of Sigma Studio, click Manage > Connection.



    The Create New Connection page appears, as shown in the following screenshot:



  2. Click the OTHERS and select the FTP option.



  3. Enter a unique name for the connection in Connection Name field. Here, NEW FTP CONNECTION is provided as the Connection Name.



  4. Provide a valid user name for the FTP connection in Username field if required. In this example, SIR18870 is given as the Username.

  5. Provide the host name of the FTP server in Hostname field. In this example, 10.11.10.13 is given as the Hostname.

  6. Enter the port number of the FTP server in Port field. In this example, 22 is given as the Port number.


    You can also provide the private key, key pair and password credentials on the respective fields to ensure increased security.
