FTP and PGP Delivery Plug-In - Options Tab

Use this tab to provide the configuration specific to the delivery plug-in you are creating.

Server

Protocol 
Select the type of delivery protocol you want. The most used type is FPT+PGP.
  • sftp:// - FTP over SSH (also known as Secure FTP)
  • ftps:// - FTP over SSL
  • https:// - Hypertext Transfer Protocol (secure web)
  • http:// - Hypertext Transfer Protocol (unsecured)

    • NEVER TRANSFER FILES OVER PLAIN FTP OR HTTP UNLESS THEY ARE FIRST ENCRYPTED USING PGP.

    Host address 
    Enter the name of the server.
    Authentication Certificate 
    If using SFTP, you may also choose to use an Authentication certificate. Select the one that fits your needs.
    FTP Mode 
    File Transfer Protocol (FTP) requires connections between two sets of ports on the client and the server -- a command connection and a data connection. The FTP client may use one of two methods for passive mode to establish the connection:
  • Standard - In Passive mode, the client uses the IP address returned by server.
  • Use host address - In Passive mode, the client uses the IP address of the server itself. This mode can be useful if the server is misconfigured and returns the IP address of its local network.
    FTP Passive Mode 
    File Transfer Protocol (FTP) has two modes that you can use for an FTP connection: active and passive.
    During active mode, the FTP server responds to the connection attempt and returns a connection request from a different port to the FTP client. NAT configurations block this connection request. FTP's passive mode allows the FTP client to initiate both connection attempts. NAT configurations do not block this connection request.
    Port Number 
    Depending upon the protocol selected, the port number will be pre-filled. You may have to make edits depending upon the specifications from the recipient.
    Test Connection 
    Use this button to test the connection to the server. This requires that user credentials are set up in Authentication section of the page. It also pastes in the Fingerprint when a successful connection is made.

    Authentication

    Username 
    Enter the username provided for the server.
    Change Password 
    Click this button to enter the password for the server.

    Note: You can use the Username and Password in connection with an Authentication Certificate; this effectively provides two-factor authentication.

    Destination File

    Remote Directory 
    This is where you would add any file paths where a file needs to be dropped in by the plug-in.

    For example, SelerixSupport\Location10\EDI.

    If we had this in the remote directory when we test the connection, if the folder structure exists at the destination, then it will submit files into the folder EDI.

    Default Filename 
    Type the filename to be used.
    Example Filename 
    As you type the filename, this field shows an example of the filename, including any formatting you may have used.
    PGP Key 
    Paste the full PGP public key (including the "BEGIN/END PGP PUBLIC KEY" lines) provided by the intended recipient. If files are not to be encrypted, leave this field blank.
    Signed by Sender 
    Choose Yes if the recipient expects the file to be signed by the sender using the Selerix public PGP key, No if not. The Selerix public key can be copied from the box next to the Authentication Certificate field above. Simply click the black box labelled "Copy Public Key".
    Unzip Files 
    Select this option to send files separately, not as part of a Zip file archive.

    Contact Information

    Name 
    Enter the name of the main contact for the plug-in.
    Email 
    Enter the email address of the main contact for the plug-in.
    Error Delivery Email 
    Enter the the email address where encountered errors should be sent.
    Phone Number 
    Enter the phone number of the main contact.
