Configuring: FTP (BatchFTP Environment)

Name	Description	Required Value
Host Name	Specifies the name of the external system that the Adapter connects to. If the parameter SSH Tunneling Enabled under the SSH Tunneling configuration settings is set to Yes, the parameters Host Name and Server Port, under the FTP settings, are ignored. In this case, the FTP host name is determined by an SSH option, according to the following model: ssh -L ListenPort:FtpServerHost:FtpServerPort SSHServer In the previous example, the FTP feature communicates with the FTP server FtpServerHost:FtpServerPort using an existing SSH tunnel. See SSH Tunneling (BatchFTP Connectivity Map) for details. If the parameter Socks Enabled under the SOCKS configuration parameters is set to Yes, the host name under the FTP configuration could fail to resolve some names, for example, localhost or 127.0.0.1 correctly. Use real IP or machine names to represent the hosts. See SOCKS (BatchFTP Connectivity Map) for details.	The host name.
Server Port	Specifies the port number to use on the FTP server when connecting to it. If the parameter SSH Tunneling Enabled under the SSH Tunneling configuration is set to Yes, the parameters Host Name and Server Port under the FTP configuration are ignored. In this case, the FTP server port number is determined by an SSH option, according to the following model: ssh -L ListenPort:FtpServerHost:FtpServerPort SSHServer In the previous example, the FTP feature communicates with the FTP server FtpServerHost:FtpServerPort using an existing SSH tunnel. See SSH Tunneling (BatchFTP Connectivity Map) for details.	The server port number.
User Name	Specifies the user name used to log onto the external system, when required.	A user name that provides access to the external system.
Password	If a password is required to log on to an external system, enter the password that corresponds to the user name. The corresponding Java accessor methods are `getPassword()`, `setPassword()`, and `setEncryptedPassword()`.	The password.
User Defined Heuristics Configura-tion File	Specifies the name and location of the user defined FTP heuristics configuration file. The format of the files content must be in the same form as that of the `FTPHeuristics.cfg` file. See To Create a Custom Heuristics Configuration File in Configuring Java CAPS Project Components for Communication Adapters for more details. This property works in conjunction with the User Defined Directory Listing Style property. *Note -* The BatchFTP OTD will generate an exception if a selected User Defined Directory Listing Style or the User Defined Heuristics Configuration File path is not defined correctly. If a User Defined Directory Listing Style is specified, a corresponding value must also be provided for the User Defined Heuristics Configuration File property.	The location and name of the user defined FTP heuristics configuration file on the local host.
