FTP Dir
FTP Dir is a synchronous activity that provides a sequential list of files in the specified directory of the FTP server.
Field | Literal Value/Module Property/Process Property | Description |
---|---|---|
Name | None | The name to be displayed as the label for the activity in the process. |
FTP Connection | Yes | The path to the shared configuration resource containing the user information such as host name, username, and password. |
Quit (post-command) | None | Select this check box to specify that the FTP connection should be closed after completing this command.
The FTP connection remains open, if this check box in not selected. As a result, all FTP activities that specify the same FTP session (that is, the same host, port, username, and password), share the FTP session until the connection is closed. |
NLST | None | Selecting this check box specifies to use the
NLST command instead of the
DIR command.
The DIR command produces verbose output including the file size, modification time, and permissions. NLST produces only a list of file names. |
