FTP Send Endpoint Settings

FTP send endpoint settings configure where to send B2B messages transmitted over FTP. There are two types of FTP send endpoints:

  • Send to Partners

    • Target endpoint in an outbound message flow through which transformed B2B messages are sent to partners, either directly or through third-party connections

    • Acknowledgement endpoint in an inbound message flow

    A host, partner, or third-party connection can own FTP Send to Partners endpoints.

  • Target at Host

    Target endpoint in an inbound message flow through which transformed B2B messages are sent to the backend applications

    Only a host can own FTP Target at Host endpoints.

Create FTP send endpoints by configuring these settings on the <host> or Partner pages. You can also create these endpoints when you configure an outbound message flow:
