What You Can Do from the Basic Info Page

You can specify the following values on the Basic Info page. The Basic Info page is the initial wizard page that is displayed whenever you drag the FTP Adapter to the trigger or invoke area.

  • Specify a meaningful name.
  • Specify a description of the responsibilities.
  • Select whether or not to define a schema for the files to transfer.
  • Specify whether to create a new schema or select an existing schema.
  • Select if you want to encrypt or decrypt the target (outbound) file to transfer using Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) cryptography.

What You See on the Basic Info Page

The following table describes the key information on the Basic Info page.

Element Description

What do you want to call your endpoint?
Provide a meaningful name so that others can understand the connection. For example, FTPReadWriteConnection. You can include English alphabetic characters, numbers, underscores, and dashes in the name. You cannot include the following:

  • Blank spaces (for example, My FTP Connection)

  • Special characters (for example,  #;83& or righ(t)now4)

  • Multibyte characters

What does this endpoint do?

Enter an optional description of the connection’s responsibilities. For example: This connection transfers files to a directory.

Do you want to define a schema for this endpoint?

Select Yes to define a schema format to use for the files to transfer. Select No if a schema is not required and you want to send opaque files (for example, a GIF or PNG file).

Note: If configuring the FTP Adapter in the trigger (inbound) direction, schema selection is not supported. If you select Yes and upload a schema, it is not used. You must select No to transfer files as an attachment.

Do you want to create a new schema or select an existing one?
Select an option:

  • Create a new schema from a CSV file: Select to create a new schema file from a comma-separated value (CSV) file. On a subsequent page of this wizard, you are prompted to select the CSV file from which to create the schema.

  • Select an existing schema from the file system: Select an existing schema file. On a subsequent page of this wizard, you are prompted to select the existing schema (XSD) file from the file system.

Do you want to encrypt or decrypt the message?

Note: This selection is only available in the invoke (outbound) direction.

Select this checkbox if you want to encrypt or decrypt the file to transfer using Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) cryptography. If you select this checkbox, the PGP Configuration page is displayed later in this wizard.
