Using DNI to Send and Receive files to Internet Server Partners
This section describes how you can configure pDNI to send files to target SSH servers and receive files from target SSH servers.
pDNI was designed to allow Platform Servers to automate transfers to other Platform Servers. Since Internet Server supports the Platform Server protocol, pDNI can be used to automate transfers with almost any server configured to Internet Server.
pDNI supports three modes of operation:
| Operation | Description |
|---|---|
| DNI Send | Allows you to send files to a transfer partner |
| DNI Receive |
Allows you to receive files from a transfer partner |
| DNI Receive FTP |
Allows you to receive files from a transfer partner through the FTP or FTPS protocol |
This section explains how to use pDNI to transfer files with partner SSH servers. Since MFT hides the actual file transfer server from the initiating client through the use of Virtual Aliases, the same techniques can be used to transfer files with servers supporting other protocols, like FTP, Azure Storage, Amazon Storage, Google Storage, and so on.
See Configuring and Managing DNI Daemons to install and configure pDNI.
