When transferring files during an integration, you can apply settings to archive a copy of each file, in either of the following flow steps:
- Transferring files out of FTP if you are
- retrieving a file for later transfer to a destination application, or
- reading records from structured data such as JSON or CSV
- Transferring files to FTP when you are writing a set of processed records to a file on the server
Back up files transferred from a source application
- In an FTP transfer step, expand the Advanced settings.
- Enter a Backup bucket name or Backup files path value relative to the file system’s root directory. For example, if you want integrator.io to store a copy of the transferred file at ftps://ftp.my-site.com/integrations/backup, enter /integrations/backup. This path must already exist on the server.
- Save your export, run the flow, and verify the existence of the archived files.
Back up files transferred into a destination application
- In the General section of an FTP transfer step, set the Generate files from records field to Yes.
- Expand the Advanced settings.
- Enter a Backup bucket name or Backup files path value relative to the file system’s root directory. For example, if you want integrator.io to store a copy of the imported file at ftps://ftp.my-site.com/integrations/backup, enter /integrations/backup. This path must already exist on the server.
- Save your import, run the flow, and verify the existence of the archived files.
