Configure an FTP Destination

 

Important

Microsoft Azure BizTalk Services (MABS) is being retired, and replaced with Azure Logic Apps. If you currently use MABS, then Move from BizTalk Services to Logic Appsprovides some guidance on moving your integration solutions to Logic Apps.

If you're brand new to Logic Apps, then we suggest getting started here:

Configure an FTP destination for sending messages from a bridge to an FTP server. Just like the FTP Source component, the FTP Destination component can be used as the destination for an XML One-Way Bridge or a Pass-Through Bridge. An FTP Destination component cannot be used a destination for XML Request-Reply Bridge. Create and Configure a Bridge provides details on how to configure these bridges. Once you have added a FTP Destination component to the Bridge Configuration designer, select Connector from the Toolbox and connect the bridge to the FTP Destination component.

Note

A bridge deployed in BizTalk Services can only send messages to an FTP server hosted in a public domain.

Note

In order to successfully route messages to an FTP Destination, the FTP FileName must be added as a Route Action. This FileName can either be a promoted property from the FTP Source or it could be hardcoded as an expression.

Tutorials and Samples provides some end-to-end scenarios.
