About FTP

File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standard network protocol used to copy a file from one host to another over a TCP-based network, such as the Internet. This document is not intended to teach you everything about FTP, it only describes the FTP Agent solution. Additionally, the RA FTP Agent is not a file transfer server, a separate FTP server is required. For FTP specifications, see RFC 959, on the Internet Engineering Task Force web site.

About Rapid Automation Pages

Rapid Automation Agent solutions such as RA FTP Agent include special Rapid Automation pages. The topics in this guide describe how to use these pages, not how to use the Automic Automation Engine. For this reason, topics on creating Connection objects, Agents, Jobs, etc. describe the Rapid Automation pages, but not how to create objects.
