About: FTPREADER endpoint

In Business Integration Solutions, the FTPREADER endpoint reads files from an FTP location.

Usage

Use this endpoint to import documents (XML, CSV, or text) stored in an FTP location into Microsoft Dynamics BC.

Concept

When documents are stored in an FTP location, use the FTP Reader endpoint to read the files. The files process through various activities in the pipeline and pass into Microsoft Dynamics BC. To read the documents, provide the FTP server address and user credentials. You can also process the endpoint as a batch using the job queue, where a job queue entry is created for the reading endpoint.

Once the files are read, BIS deletes them from the FTP location.

To view queue documents from different Microsoft Dynamics BC clients or locations, use an FTP server with the appropriate permissions for the users of that client.
