FTP/S Outbound

The FTP and FTPS outbound transports are used for storing files on the trading partner's FTP server. You can configure FTP outbound transport to perform the following operations:

  • Rename outbound files according to a mask.
  • Manage file processing using scripts.

FTP transfers over the Internet are not secure because intruders can look at the data transfer and even modify the commands or data before they reach their intended trading partner.

FTPS outbound is an FTP outbound transport over a secure connection. The FTP server and the FTP client, in this case TIBCO BusinessConnect Container Edition, exchange certificates and create a secure, encrypted connection before sending or receiving data or FTP commands.

Before configuring FTPS, you must set up a certificates file for the trading partner.
