The Netia FTP collection agent collects files from a remote file system and inserts them into a workflow using the standard FTP (RFC 959) protocol. The agent supports FTP towards Unix, Windows NT and VAX/VMS machines.

When activated, the collector establishes an FTP session towards the remote host. On failure, additional hosts are tried if configured. On success, the source directory on the remote host is scanned for all files matching the current filter. All files found are fed one after the other into the workflow.

The agent also offers the possibility to decompress compressed (gzip) files after they have been collected, before they are inserted into the workflow. When all the files are successfully processed, the agent stops to await the next activation, scheduled or manually initiated.
