Working with FTP Jobs

Once you have defined an FTP Job by dragging and dropping the commands, you can edit and work with it as follows:

Edit a command
- Click any of the input keywords in the command header. This expands the command and makes it editable.
- Required fields without values show a triangle icon with an exclamation point.
- Sections of the command definition include expand/collapse icons.
- Changes are not saved until you click Save.
Delete a command
- Collapse the command and either highlight the command or move the mouse pointer over the command's title bar. Click the X icon on the right side of the command's titlebar.
- Changes are not saved until you click Save.
Expand a command

Click any of the input keywords in the command header. This expands the command and makes it editable.
Collapse a command

Click anywhere in the command sequence that is not the expanded command.
Move a command up or down to reorder the sequence

Drag the desired command up or down in the command sequence and drop it in a new location.

Adding FTP Jobs to Workflows

Browsing to Directories and Files

When working with FTP Jobs, the fields where you enter files and/or directories include a browse icon. When you click it, a pop-up dialog opens that allows you to browse to a file or directory on the host. You have the following options:

Select a file or directory

Highlight the file or directory and click Select.
Navigate into a directory

Double click the directory.
Type in a directory or file location

Click to the right of the breadcrumb links in the navigation bar to get a cursor.
Move up one or more directories in the path

Click the breadcrumb link in the navigation bar.
Exit without selecting a file or directory

Click Cancel.

Restriction

You assign Agents or Agent Groups to FTP Jobs. Also, with FTP Jobs you can use free forms to define your own commands for the Job.

If you assign an Agent Group to the Job, you cannot use commands to browse for file paths in the form. If you do, an error message is displayed. This is because the Agent Group is resolved upon Job execution and, therefore, the path cannot be resolved at this point in time.

Canceling FTP Jobs

If you cancel an FTP Job, it will cancel the remaining commands, but the currently running command will complete.
