Using FTP scripts for FTP Scripting targets and gateways

The FTP Scripting transport allows you to send data to any FTP service, including a Value Added Network (VAN). You control the operations on the FTP server using a script file that contains FTP commands.

You specify this script when you create the FTP Scripting target or gateway. WebSphere Partner Gateway substitutes the actual values you enter when you create the target or gateway for the placeholders in the FTP script.

The operations defined in the input script are translated into actions on the FTP server. The input script is made up of a group of supported FTP commands. Parameters for these commands can take the form of a variable, which will be filled in at runtime.

For information about creating an FTP script for an FTP Scripting target, see Setting up an FTP Scripting target. For information about creating an FTP script for an FTP Scripting gateway, see Setting up an FTP Scripting gateway.
