Some advice how to usre the rule.xml file

Hello,

If you use a WaarpR66server as a ftp client to receive a file from a ftp server is should be possible.
To add a rule to your WaarpR66 server you can use the command loadconf or loadrule.

A rule file is a xml file with the folowing structure:

idrule: the name of the rule
mode: 1=Send (client is the origin of the file) 2=Receive (client is the destination of the file)
rpretasks: list of tasks to execute by the receiver before the file is transfered 
rposttasks: list of tasks to execute by the receiver after the file is transfered
rerrortasks: list of tasks to execute by the receiver if the transfer fails
spretasks: list of tasks to execute by the sender before the file is transfered 
sposttasks: list of tasks to execute by the sender after the file is transfered
serrortasks: list of tasks to execute by the sender if the transfer fails

you can find an example on this page.

A simple rule in your case should be like this:

<rule>
     <idrule>scriptPostFTP</idrule>
     <mode>2</mode>
     <rposttasks>
         <tasks>
             <task>
                 <type>EXEC</type>
                 <path>path/to/script</path>
                 <delay>0</delay>
                 <rank>0</rank>
             </task>
         </tasks>
    </rposttasks>
</rule>

To better help you with your setup can you give me more information ?

  • Which Waarp component do you use ?
  • How do you invoke it ?

Kind regards.
