input-ftp-transport

The input-ftp-transport allows to download data from a (s)ftp server. It has been tested with Geoevent server 10.8.1. It uses Apache Commons Net library to connect to ftp servers, and Jsch for sftp servers. If the files downloaded are csv or xml files, you can use standard Geoevent adapters to create a connector. For other formats, you have to create a custom adapter.

It has the following properties :

Name	Description
Server type	Type of the server : ftp or sftp
Server	URL of the ftp server
Port	Port of the ftp server
User	Login user name
Password	User password
Server folder	Folder on the server where the file is stored
Private key	The private key used to authenticate into the ssh server
File format	Format of the file(s) to be downloaded. It can be the name of a single file or a filter with wild characters. For instance : *.txt
Local folder	Folder where the file will be downloaded
Delete files	Boolean which specifies if the files downloaded in the local folder will be deleted
Frequency	This is the time in seconds between successive task executions
Number of lines to skip	Number of lines to skip

Build and deploy

In order to build the composant, you need the Geoevent sdk.

The GeoEvent Server SDK and documentation can be found in the ArcGIS Server installation directory. The default installation directories are below:

Windows: <ArcGIS Server installation directory>\GeoEvent\sdk (for example, C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Server\GeoEvent\sdk).
Linux: <ArcGIS Server installation directory>/GeoEvent/sdk (for example, ~/arcgis/server/GeoEvent/sdk).

In these directories, you will find the document GeoEvent Developer Guide.pdf, which explains how to build and deploy the composant.
