FTP Connection Configuration

 FTP Connection Configuration 

Ccreate an FTP connection in Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC), select the FTP adapter from the Design > Connections section, then provide the host address, port, and credentials for the FTP or SFTP server, and use the connection within your integrations to read, write, or otherwise process files on the server.

In Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC), the FTP Adapter supports key operations like Read File, Write File, List Files, Move File, and Delete File to manage files on FTP/SFTP servers

Steps to Create an FTP Connection:

1. Log in: to your Oracle Integration Cloud service. 
2. Navigate to the Design section: and click on Connections. 
3. Click Create: to start creating a new connection. 
4. Search for "FTP": in the search box and select the FTP adapter. 
5. Enter a name: for your connection. 
6. Select the role: (typically Invoke) for the connection. 
7. Enter the FTP/SFTP Server Details:
   • Host Address: The IP address or hostname of the FTP/SFTP server. 
   • Server Port: The port number (e.g., 21 for FTP, 22 for SFTP). 
8. Provide Security Information: Enter the Username and PassPhrase (password) for connecting to the server. 
9. Configure Optional Properties:
   • If connecting to an SFTP server, check the SFTP Connection option (often under Connection Properties) to "Yes". 
10. Test the Connection: Click the Test button to verify the connection details and ensure OIC can connect to the server. 
11. Save: the connection once the test is successful. 

Using the Connection in an Integration: 

• Once saved, the FTP connection can be used within your integrations as an invoke action to perform file operations like reading, writing, or transferring files.
• The connection can be used for both FTP and SFTP servers, with the adapter handling the appropriate connection protocol based on your settings.
