tfilefetch with ftp protocol and authentication

Anonymous — Thu, 07 Jan 2016 20:41:02 GMT

Hello Talend users.
I need to get a single xml file from a ftp server, i think tfilefetch fits my needs because it is not neccesary to download the file, just to get the content for later use as a lookup table (see "use cache to save the resource").
But i have been unable to figure out how to set host, username and password in tfilefetch component, if you choose the "http" protocol, you can set those settings, but i need to set them for the "ftp" protocol.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Regards
Juan

Hi,
So far, tfilefetch component is used to retrieve a file via a defined protocol(http, https, ftp, smb).
Have you tried to use component tFTPGet to retrieve your selected file from remote FTP directory and copy them to a local directory?

Yes, sure i can use a tFTPGet, but some features of tFileFetch seemed very attractive, ie. the ability to store the contents in a cache, and i just need to get the contents of a single file, just the content, no need to download the file.

Hi,
You can take a try on ftp protocol and set a ftp URL format.

ftp:/xxx:xxxx

Hello.

I finally figured out how to accomplish the task, if you use the ftp protocol with tFileFetch the URI must have the following format:

ftp://username:password@www.myserver.com/project/2012/Project.zip

The component is very rigid so be careful if you want to append name=value pairs separated by "&"
