FTP Enterprise Stage

The FTP Enterprise stage transfers multiple files in parallel. This stage invokes an FTP client and transfers the files to and from a remote host.

The FTP Enterprise stage transfers multiple files in parallel. These are sets of files that are transferred from one or more FTP servers into InfoSphere® DataStage® or from InfoSphere DataStage to one or more FTP servers. The source or target for the file is identified by a URI (Universal Resource Identifier). The FTP Enterprise stage invokes an FTP client program and transfers files to or from a remote host using the FTP Protocol.

When you edit an FTP Enterprise stage, the FTP stage editor appears. This is based on the generic stage editor.

The stage editor has up to three pages, depending on whether you are accessing or transferring a file:

• Stage Page. This is always present and is used to specify general information about the stage.
• Input Page. This is present when you are accessing files from a remote host. Specify details about the input link here.
• Output Page. This is present when you are transferring data sets to a file. Specify details about the output link here.
