Network File Access - File Write Transfer Object

Network File Access File Write Transfer Objects can write files and modify existing files. File paths can be selected from a database or specified as constants. You can configure the transfer object directly within the flow as described.

The following properties can be configured:

Property	Description
Connection	Plug-in instance to be used

"Output Path" section

Property	Description
Output Path	Dynamic: The output path can be passed dynamically as a parameter at runtime. This is helpful when different files need to be written. Static: A static file path must be configured in the transfer object. This setting should be used when only one file is to be written.

"Connection Settings" section

Property	Description
If file is already available	Overwrite: If the file already exists, it will be overwritten. Generate error: If the file already exists, the transfer will be aborted with an error. Ignore: If the file already exists, nothing will be written.

"File Settings" section

Property	Description
Dynamic or Static File Name	Dynamic: The filename can be passed dynamically as a parameter at runtime. This is useful when multiple files need to be written. Static: A static filename must be configured in the transfer object. This setting should be used when only one file is to be written.
Prefix with UTC timestamp	If enabled, the current UTC timestamp is prepended to the filename. For example, the file “test.txt” becomes “20191204_095646_test.txt”.
Write binary data or text	"Write binary file" writes binary data (e.g., *.doc, *.jpg, *.xlsx). "Write text" is suitable for simple text files (e.g., *.txt) or for writing output values from other TOs, such as JSON.
Encoding	If “Write Text” is selected, the encoding can be chosen. The default is UTF-8.
