Network File Access - Read File - Transfer Object

Network File Access File Read Transfer Objects can move files and make file contents available. File paths can be selected from a database or as constants. You can configure the transfer object directly within the flow as described.

After double-clicking the transfer object, configure the following properties:

Property	Description
Connection	Plug-in instance to be used
File path	Dynamic: The file path can be passed dynamically as a parameter at runtime. This is helpful when reading different files. Static: A static file path must be configured in the transfer object. This setting should be used when only one file is to be read.
Read binary data or text	"Read binary data" can be used to read binary files (e.g., *.doc, *.jpg, *.xlsx). "Read text" can be used for simple text files (e.g., *.txt).
Encoding	If “Read Text” is selected, the encoding can be selected. The default is UTF-8.
Abort if the file is not found.	If this option is enabled, the transfer is aborted if the file is not found, without generating an error. If the option is disabled, an error is generated.
