FTP Connector
Description
This module allows users to configure and manage FTP (File Transfer Protocol) and SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) instances directly within Odoo. It facilitates the seamless transfer of files from an external server to Odoo while maintaining encryption and secure connections when required.
Configuration
Go to FTP - - > Configuration - - > Instances. Create a new instance.
“Connection Type” must be selected between FTP or SFTP, depending on the server type. The server URL should be specified in the “FTP URL” field. A “Local Directory” must be defined to store downloaded files. The option to automatically delete files from the server after a successful transfer can be done by enabling the boolean “Delete files once downloaded”.
Under the “FTP Configurations” tab, The “User Name” for FTP authentication needs to be entered, and the associated “Password” must be provided. The “Port” should be specified. A “Timeout” value, measured in seconds, can be set. “Debugging” may be enabled to log FTP operations for troubleshooting purposes. Secure FTP connections with encryption (FTP-ES) can be achieved by enabling the boolean “Connect FTPes”. Access can be restricted only to the main directory usby enabling the boolean “Main Directory Only”. SSL connections can be achieved by enabling the boolean “Connect SSL”.
The configuration must be saved and activated by clicking “Confirm”. Upon confirmation, the view is updated to display additional options.
Functionality
The connectivity to the configured server can be tested using the “Check Connection” button to verify the settings and server reachability. The “Sync FTP Structure” button may be used to retrieve the folder structure from the server, allowing Odoo to map the directory hierarchy. The “Reset Confirmation” option may be selected.
Once the FTP/SFTP structure has been synced, the directory lists are displayed under the “Directory Lists” tab.
Each directory entry includes the Directory Name, the Linked FTP Instance, and the following actions:
- Download: Used to transfer the selected file or folder to the local directory.
- Recursive Download: Used to download the selected file along with its child files and subdirectories.
- Upload: Used to transfer files from the Odoo system to the server.
Specific folders can be marked for download once the structure has been fetched. The “Download Marked FTP Folder” option enables the transfer of marked folders to the local directory in Odoo.
The “Upload Marked Folder” feature facilitates uploading folders back to the server.
The option to delete files for clanup in Odoo after synchronization can be done by clicking on “Delete Downloaded Files” smart button.
Downloaded files are then accessible in the “FTP Directory” section under the “Directory” menu for further management.
Attachments associated with file transfers are listed in the “FTP File Attachments” section under the “Attachments” section, providing a reference to the downloaded documents.
