Downloading payload from the Global Mailbox with FTP

Use the RETR commands in the FTP Server adapter to get messages from Global Mailbox. The Global Mailbox message is retrieved and the storage ID is obtained from the message. Using the retrieved ID, the payload is retrieved by using the storage client and is transferred to the FTP client.

Before you begin

Complete the procedure Accessing Global Mailbox by using FTP. Configure the FTP Server adapter to specify Global Mailbox as the repository.

About this task

To download a payload from Global Mailbox by FTP:

Procedure

  1. Log in as a user.
    Authorization to the directory is from the user permissions for mailboxes in Global Mailbox. The FTP session begins at the virtual root of the user that logs in.
  2. Use the following command:
    GETfilename to download a file from the client.

    If the download was interrupted before it completed, you can download the file again. When you use the GET command on the same file, the FTP client checks the size of the file that was downloaded, and compares it with the size of the file in the Global Mailbox, validates the restart point, and resumes file download.
