Understanding the FTP Binding Component

FTP Address Element (<ftp:address>)

The FTP address element extends the WSDL service element to allow you to specify the connectivity information to an FTP server. You can specify properties such as the Internet address of the FTP server, style for listing directories, the mode of transfer (for example, binary, ASCII, or EBCDIC), and timeout settings for connecting to the FTP server.

userDefDirListStyle	Names the user-defined directory listing style, which should correspond to the style defined by the property `userDefDirListHeuristics`
userDefDirListHeuristics	Path pointing to a user provided heuristics file. This file should be accessible to the FTP Binding Component runtime in the deployed environment.
enabledCCC	Enable Clear Command Channel after handshake, only applicable when securedFTP - 'ExplicitSSL'
keyStore	Key store location
keyStorePassword	Key store password
keyAlias	Key alias for client authentication
keyPassword	Password protecting the key alias
trustStore	Trust store location
trustStorePassword	Trust store password
mode	Specifies whether the transfer is binary, ASCII, or EBCDIC. Default value: binary
controlChannelencoding	Encoding (Charset) for FTP control channel IO. Default is ISO-8859-1. When left blank the default is assumed.
cmdChannelTimeout	Time, in milliseconds, to attempt reading the socket for the FTP command channel before a timeout occurs. 0 indicates no timeout. Default value: 45000
dataChannelTimeout	Time, in milliseconds, to attempt reading the socket for the FTP data channel before a timeout occurs. 0 indicates no timeout. Default value: 45000
