TIBCO BusinessConnect™ Container Edition 1.2.0

# FTP/S Inbound

A host uses the FTP and FTPS inbound transports to periodically retrieve messages from one or more trading partners’ FTP servers. This is in contrast to FTP outbound, which allows a host to send messages to a partner.

There are two ways that you can use FTP/S to get files from the FTP server of a trading partner:

- Retrieve files according to a mask
- Manage file processing using scripts

FTP inbound operations use the temporary local file storage, which exists inside the container.

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

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