FTP Binding Component Project in a Nutshell

The illustration explains the process of creating a project in FTP Binding Component.

The FTP server is used as a communication hub for a manufacturing supply chain. The Manufacturer sends an XML file with inventory levels of multiple products (using a Business Process that reads a local file with File-BC and places it in the FTP server using FTP-BC). Supplier picks up the XML file and updates inventory levels (using a Business Process that retrieves the file from the FTP server using FILE-BC). The Manufacturer Business Process uses simulated data created in-line and the supplier prints inventory levels on ftpout.
