Feature Request: Activity for FTP

Workflow Version 9 Ideas

Updated April 15, 2020

asked on September 29, 2014

We currently have a process that requires at the end of it to FTP the file to a server. This is currently having to be done manually at the end of the process. It would be nice to have an activity in Workflow that could accomplish that.

Blake,

I developed a custom workflow activity to do FTP exports out of LF a while back but never fully deployed it. (The word I got from LF was that they didn't think there was much call for it). Here is a screenshot of the WF designer with the FTP Export activity selected.

Let me know if you are interested and I can get you a copy of the DLL to test it on your system...

Hi Gents,

Any chance you developed the dll? We are looking for a solution like this.

Thanks

Thanks Cliff

I found the qfiche site shortly after sending the request. I have downloaded and our dev team are taking a look at the tool.

Many thanks

Lance

I tried the Qfiche ftp activity and it works obviously though you will have to purchase a license eventually. In the mean time is there any other way to get a doc out of a repository either ftp, smb since this original discussion?

Brian,

The quick answer is that you can code up an FTP export from workflow using the existing SDK Script activity. As a matter of fact, any .NET functionality can be coded up in workflow using a Script activity or the SDK Script activity. The obvious advantage of the custom workflow activities are that the coding has already been done for you.

Doing a Google search will provide many examples. Here is one such link; https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/network-programming/how-to-download-files-with-ftp
