FTPPort Property

This feature will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use this feature.

The FTPPort property exposes the port of a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server that maintains synchronization images of a Microsoft SQL Server publication.

Syntax

object
.FTPPort [=value]

Parts

  • object
    An expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list
  • value
    A positive long integer that specifies a port by number

Data Type

Long

Modifiable

Read/write

Prototype (C/C++)

HRESULT GetFTPPort(LPDWORD pRetVal);
HRESULT SetFTPPort(DWORD NewValue);

Remarks

SQL Server replication can use FTP to transfer synchronization images of publication schema and data. Use the FTPAddress, FTPPort, FTPLogin, and FTPPassword properties to enable use of FTP for synchronization.

Applications should use the MergePublication2 or TransPublication2 objects when setting the FTPPort property. The FTPPort property remains a property of the TransPullSubscription and MergePullSubscription objects to maintain backward compatibility.

Note

If an application sets FTPPort with the MergePublication2 or TransPublication2 object after the initial snapshot has been created, a new snapshot must be generated. Snapshots are applied when the next scheduled snapshot agent runs.

Applies To:

MergePublication2 Object

TransPublication2 Object

MergePullSubscription Object

TransPullSubscription Object
