BusinessObjects Enterprise Administrator's Guide

FTP destination properties

In this example, reports scheduled to this destination are randomly named and uploaded to the ftp.businessobjects.com site.

See also Configuring the destination properties for job servers.

Host

Enter your FTP host information.

Port

Enter the FTP port number (the standard FTP port is 21).

FTP User Name

Specify a user who has the necessary rights to upload a report to the FTP server.

FTP Password

Enter the user's password.

Account

Enter the FTP account information, if required.

Account is part of the standard FTP protocol, but it is rarely implemented. Provide the appropriate account only if your FTP server requires it.

Destination Directory

Enter the FTP directory that you want the object to be saved to. A relative path is interpreted relative to the root directory on the FTP server.

Default File Name (randomly generated)

Select this option if you want BusinessObjects Enterprise to generate a random file name.

Specified File Name

Select this option if you want to enter a file name—you can also add a variable to the file name. To add a variable, choose a placeholder for a variable property from the list and click Add.
