About the FTP Adapter

The FTP Adapter enables you to transfer files to an invoke FTP server in an integration in Oracle Integration Cloud Service.

The FTP Adapter provides the following benefits:

  • Transfers (writes) files to any publicly accessible server in either binary or ASCII format.

  • Enables you to create integrations in which a file is read from a trigger FTP server and transferred (written) to an invoke FTP server. For these integration scenarios, you can schedule the time and frequency at which the transfer occurs. For more information, see Scheduling Integration Runs.

  • Supports a synchronous one-way request message exchange pattern. There is no response from the FTP Adapter.

  • Enables you to create a schema file format to use for the files to transfer. The schema can be created (sampled) from either a comma-separated value (CSV) file or from an existing schema file. Supported delimiters in the file are single spaces, commas, semicolons, or tabs.

  • Enables you to encrypt or decrypt the invoke (outbound) message file to transfer using Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) cryptography.

The FTP Adapter is one of many predefined adapters included with Oracle Integration Cloud Service. You can configure the FTP Adapter as a connection in an integration in Oracle Integration Cloud Service.
