This component provides a powerful set of tools for managing FTPS (FTP over SSL/TLS) connections in OutSystems, making secure file transfer simple and efficient. It supports actions for establishing and maintaining connections, handling file operations, and ensuring reliable FTP workflows, all while optimizing resources by reusing connections across multiple actions.

Key Features

• Connect Once, Reuse as Needed: Establish an FTPS connection and reuse it across actions, saving on connection overhead, or:
• Connect Per Action as Needed: Use a timeout of 0 or disconnect after each action to close the connection right after completing it.
• Automatic Connection Handling: This component leverages AutoConnect from FluentFTP to establish connections automatically.
• Comprehensive FTP Operations: Includes actions for file upload, download, deletion, folder management, and file existence checks.
• Connection Timeout Management: Automatically closes idle connections, optimizing resource use and ensuring performance stability.
• Asynchronous Actions: Supports asynchronous operations to improve responsiveness and handle multiple FTP actions concurrently.
• Built-In Retry Logic: Automatically retries failed operations up to 3 times for cases like connection problems.
• Secure Connection Storage: Encrypts connection details when stored, offering an additional layer of security.

Use Cases

• Automated File Transfers: Ideal for applications needing automated, secure file transfers to and from an FTPS server.
• Optimized Workflows: Reduces redundant connections in workflows that involve multiple FTP actions.
• Sensitive Data Handling: Suitable for applications where secure file handling and resource management are essential.

Compatibility and Prerequisites

• OutSystems Compatibility: Compatible with OutSystems version 11 and above.
• Application Types: Designed for both Reactive Web Apps and Traditional Web Apps.

This component is based on FluentFTP by robinrodricks, offering a robust foundation for FTPS handling.
