CandleNet eBP File Transfer allows you to transfer binary or text files from one system to another using CandleNet eBP as the transport. The program performing the actual transfer need only know the name of the eBP business service to which it sends and receives XML requests. This program can be either a customer-written application or the Candle-provided KFXXFER command-line utility. For more information about KFXXFER, refer to the CandleNet eBP File Transfer User's Guide.
CandleNet eBP File Transfer is a member of the eBP Connector family of products. The eBP Universal Connector provides an interface between CandleNet eBP or native messaging applications and an external system or program (in this case a Candle-provided or user-developed file transfer program that sends requests in XML format).
In order to configure the eBP directory for eBP File Transfer, you must define at least one file transfer connector and one underlying dispatcher for both the sending and receiving system. Additionally, each connector requires a specific business service, business component, business element, and client to be configured. You can either have the CandleNet eBP Directory Administrator automatically generate these for you or create them manually.
The File Transfer Connector dialog allows you to configure or modify both a file transfer connector and file-to-file dispatcher. For message-to-file transfers, you must also complete the Message-to-File Dispatcher dialog.
