FTP Jobs

Using your agent, you can automate File Transfer Protocol (FTP) transfers with an FTP job. The FTP job can upload data to or download data from an existing FTP server or another agent running as an FTP server. The FTP job always acts as an FTP client.

Note: To run these jobs, your system requires CA WA Agent for UNIX, Linux, Windows, or i5/OS.

You can use an FTP job to automate the following:

Download ASCII, binary, or EBCDIC (i5/OS only) files from a remote FTP server to your agent computer.
Upload ASCII, binary, or EBCDIC (i5/OS only) files from your agent computer to a remote FTP server.

Your agent administrator can set up the agent to run as an FTP client, FTP server, or both.
