SFTP receiver File channel

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am doing a simple file pass through using PI (File-PI-SFTP) and not using ESR.

I have two requirements -

1. The target file name should be in the format xyz_yyyymmdd.dat

The standard function with the receiver SFTP channel is to get the timestamp but I don't require timestamp.

Could anyone please let me know if I can get the file name format (xyz_yyyymmdd.dat) without using any mapping?

2. I am using certificates, but still the channel requires a User Name (it is a mandatory field). I am unable to understand why I need User Name even if I am using certificates? Is there a way of avoiding that?

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Abhi

Have you seen this wiki page?

You might want to try anonymous ssl mode. This might not require credentials. But certificate authentication looks for the user credentials. Take help from BASIS.

No, but this looks helpful.

I am using Advantco SFTP adapter and it follows SSH protocol. There is no option for anonymous log-in.

I think you might have to give user credentials.

Yes, i need to at least provide the user name. Password is not necessary. Thanks for your response.
