The ftp type is used to receive data using the File Transfer Protocol. It is available for Linux Agents.

Available settings:

• Basic settings tab:
  • Name (required)—a unique name for this type of resource. Must contain from 1 to 128 Unicode characters.
  • Tenant (required)—name of the tenant that owns the resource.
  • Type (required)—connector type.
  • URL (required)—actual URL of the file or file mask beginning with 'ftp://'. For a file mask, you can use * ? [...].

    Masks:

    • '*'—matches any sequence of characters.
    • '[' [ '^' ] { range of characters } ']'—class of characters (should not be left blank).
    • c—matches the c character (c != '*', '?', '\\', '[').
    • '\\' c—matches the c character.

    Ranges of characters:

    • c—matches the c character (c != '\\', '-', ']').
    • '\\' c—matches the c character.
    • lo '-' hi—matches the c character for lo <= c <= hi.

    Examples:

    • /var/log/*som?[1-9].log

    • /mnt/proxy/access*.log

    If the URL does not include the FTP server port, port 21 is inserted.
