Using CA XCOM Gateway FTP › Upload Files

Upload Files

After selecting a policy subdirectory on the server, you can upload a file from your PC to CA XCOM Gateway and, within CA XCOM Gateway, that file is automatically assigned to the selected policy.

Note: If there are non-unique file names listed, the display inserts a date/time stamp in between the file name and the file extension to provide uniqueness. The file name itself is not altered.

Example:

If there are two instances of the file Test1.txt, they may appear in the display list as Test1-20110103111523.txt and Test1-20110102100515.txt, indicating that the first instance was created on January 3, 2011 at 11:15:23 and the second on January 2, 2011 at 10:05:15.

If you are using the FTP command line utility

To initiate an upload, enter the following FPT' command:

put filename

Your PC looks for the specified file in the current directory, that is, the directory that you were in when you launched the FTP program.

Note: On Windows, the command prompt window opens in one of the following directories:

• c:\Documents and Settings\username (for Windows 2000 and XP)
• c:\User\username (for Vista or Windows 7)

So you need to do one of the following:

• Move the files you want to upload into this directory.
• Select a different directory before starting FTP.

If you are using an FTP client program

Most programs do the following:

• Enable you to select a local file in a different section of the screen.
• Provide an upload menu command to initiate an upload into the currently selected server directory.

If you are using your web browser

Note: Most current web browsers do not support FTP upload, so you need to use the FTP command line utility or an FTP client program if you want to upload files.
