Push to FTP

It is possible to push new assets automatically to FTP server folders. Essentially you can setup FTP servers and based on those you can setup workflows, that connect scoopa folders and FTP folders. Once this workflow is set up, new files will not only trigger notification mails as usual, but also push the new file to the connected FTP folder.

FTP-Servers

Start creating your first FTP server by navigating to "Automations" -> "FTP" -> "Add FTP Server".

In the popup, enter your server credentials: server/IP, username and password as well as the FTP port (21 is the default). Next you should give your new connection a name to identify the connection.

After hitting "Save" you will be redirected to the FTP overview where you should see a checkmark behind your newly created server. This means the connection has been tested and is valid.

If the checkmark is missing, go to edit your FTP server and check your credentials. In the edit view you can also trigger a re-validation of your credentials by pressing "Re-Validate Server".

You can also delete existing FTP-Servers by clicking the delete icon in the overview. As with all delete operations this has to be confirmed.

Workflows

After you created your first FTP-Server, you can start creating workflows based on that server. Go to: "Automations" -> "FTP" -> "Add Workflow".

You should first enter a suitable name for the workflow that describes the workflow in a few words.

Next you can select the target folder on the ftp-server by navigating through the remote server in the "Target selection" Section.

After that you can select which folders in scoopa should be source folder for this workflow. Select one or more folders in the "Source selection" Section.

You can now save your workflow. It is in effect from now on.

It is also possible to edit the workflow by pressing the edit-icon in the FTP-overview. Besides changing the aforementioned settings you can also disable the workflow.

You can also delete workflows by pressing the delete-icon in the FTP-overview.

Besides the overall status of the transfer, the source-file and target ftp+folder you can also see the date, progress and speed of the transfer. If there is an error you can also see the error message here as well as the number of attempts scoopa tried to push the file to the ftp-server.
