How to Create an FTP Target

From Jitterwiki

If you have not already done so, open the Integration tab by selecting Integration from the View menu.

Make sure you have opened the appropriate project in which you want to store the new target.

There are several ways you can start to create a new target:

• Select New in the File menu, then choose New Target from the sub-menu; or
• Click the down arrow next to the file icon in the toolbar, then choose New Target from the sub-menu; or
• Right-click on Targets in the hierarchical tree in the Integration tab in the left pane of the screen, then choose New Target from the popup menu.

Your new target appears in its own New Target tab in the right pane of the window.

1. Enter an appropriate name for your new target in the Name field.
2. Choose FTP from the Type dropdown menu.
3. Enter a valid FTP server location in the Host field.
4. Provide the proper port in the Port field (the default of 21 is usually correct).
5. Enter a valid path in the Path field. The path should point to an existing directory on the ftp server and the specified user needs to have write permission to the specified directory.
6. If your files are ASCII-based, choose the Ascii transfer type radio button. For all other file types, choose Binary transfer type.

(Optional) If the FTP server uses passive mode, select the Passive Mode checkbox. Enter a valid username that will allow access to your ftp server into the Login field, then click the Password button and enter the appropriate password. Specify how to name your target file(s) by entering the new name/format into the Name File(s) field.

7. Click the Save button in either the main toolbar or the target's toolbar.

(Optional) If you want to test whether the Jitterbit server can connect to the specified FTP server, click the green double-arrow button in the target's toolbar. The server will only check that the specified directory exists and not that the specified user has write permission to the directory.
