FTP

An FTP is a standard protocol to transfer files over the Internet.

Integrations and Connectors

AgilePoint NX integrates in these ways with FTP:

  • Document repository for process-based apps
  • Document repository for eForms
  • Access tokens

Document Repository for Process-Based Apps

FTP can be as a document repository in a process-based app. There are many activities that let you upload and download files from various third-party repositories.

Document Repository for eForms

FTP can be as a document repository to upload and download files in eForms. In an eForm or form-based app, file transfer is handled with the File Upload form control.

Access Tokens

You can create access tokens for FTP.

An access token is a secure object that stores an endpoint (usually a URL) and authentication credentials to connect to a service or technology. Often this is an external or third-party service, like Salesforce or SharePoint, but access tokens can also connect to an AgilePoint NX enviornment, local database, or other types of technologies. Once an access token is created, app designers can simply select and reuse it, rather than entering the credentials each time they are needed.

For more information, refer to Access token for FTP.
