File Connector Reference

The following configurations allow you to work with the File Connector version 4.

Connection configurations

The File connector can be used to deal with two types of file systems:

  • Local File System: A file system of the server where the WSO2 integration runtime is deployed.
  • Remote File System: A file system outside the server where the WSO2 integration runtime is deployed. There are few industry standard protocols established to expose a file system over TCP. Following protocols are supported by the File connector.

    • FTP
    • FTPS
    • SFTP

There are different connection configurations that can be used for the above protocols. They contain a common set of configurations and some additional configurations specific to the protocol.

types of file connections

Note

The File connector internally uses the Apache VFS Library. According to the selected connection type, the following VFS connection URLs will be generated.

[file://] absolute-path
file:///home/someuser/somedir
file:///C:/Documents and Settings
ftp://[ username[: password]@] hostname[: port][ relative-path]
ftp://myusername:mypassword@somehost/pub/downloads/somefile.tgz
ftps://[ username[: password]@] hostname[: port][ absolute-path]
ftps://myusername:mypassword@somehost/pub/downloads/somefile.tgz
sftp://[ username[: password]@] hostname[: port][ relative-path]
sftp://myusername:mypassword@somehost/pub/downloads/somefile.tgz

Tip

There are instances where errors occur when using .csv files and the output is encoded. To overcome this, add the following configuration to the <PRODUCT_HOME>/repository/conf/deployment.toml file.


[[custom_message_formatters]]
content_type = "text/csv"
class = "org.apache.axis2.format.PlainTextFormatter"

[[custom_message_builders]]
content_type = "text/csv"
class = "org.apache.axis2.format.PlainTextBuilder"

Also, you need to modify your proxy service as indicated below.


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<sequence name="proxyDeployingSeq" trace="disable" xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse">
    <property name="slotNumber" value="1"/>
    <property expression="get-property(&quot;SYSTEM_DATE&quot;, &quot;mm&quot;)" name="currentMin" scope="default" type="STRING"/>
    <file.read configKey="slotFileConnection">

        <readMode>Specific Line</readMode>
        <startLineNum>0</startLineNum>
        <endLineNum>0</endLineNum>
        <lineNum>{get-property('currentMin')}</lineNum>
        <contentType>text/csv</contentType>
        <includeResultTo>Message Property</includeResultTo>
        <resultPropertyName>slotNumber</resultPropertyName>

    </file.read>
    <log level="custom">
        <property name="slott" expression="get-property('slotNumber')"/>
    </log>
</sequence>

Common configs to all connection types

Parameter Name Element Type Description Default Value Required
Connection Name name String A unique name to identify the connection. - Yes
Connection Type connectionType String The protocol used for communicating with the file system.
Possible values:
  • Local: Provides access to the files on the local physical file system.
  • FTP: Provides access to the files on an FTP server.
  • FTPS: Provides access to the files on an FTP server over SSL.
  • SFTP: Provides access to the files on an SFTP server (that is, an SSH or SCP server).
- Yes
Working Directory workingDir String This is the working directory. The file paths in operations, which are associated with the connection, should be provided relative to this folder.
Note: As per VFS documentation, for windows, the working directory of local connections should be as follows: /C:/Documents.
Defaults to file system root. No
File Locking Behaviour fileLockScheme String Specify whether to acquire node-specific lock (Local) or cluster-wide lock (Cluster) when locks are acquired in read and write operations.
  • Local
    When a lock is acquired, it is acquired within the context of file operations performed by that server node only. Local lock acquired by some file operation on a particular server node is not visible to the other server nodes that may access the same file system.
  • Cluster
    When multiple server nodes access the same file system performing read and write operations, you may use this behaviour. Here, when a file lock is acquired, it is visible to all file connector operations across the nodes. This is acquired by creating a .lock file in the same file system (for the file that is being accessed). The behaviour depends on the OS and the file system. Therefore, this feature may not work as intended in high-concurrent scenarios.
Note:
File locking is available for read and write operations. When enabled, a file specific lock is acquired before the operation and released after the operation. Parallel read/write operations are restricted when locking is enabled by a file operation.
Local Yes

Common remote connection configs

Parameter Name Element Type Description Default Value Required
Host host String Host name of the file server. - Yes
Port port Number The port number of the file server - Yes
Username username String The username used to connect with the file server. If the username contains special characters, you will need to use the URL encoded value. - No
Password password String The password to connect with the file server. If the password contains special characters, you will need to use the URL encoded value. - No
User Directory Is Root userDirIsRoot Boolean If set to false (default), VFS will choose the file system's root as the VFS's root. If you want to have the user's home as the VFS root, then set this to 'true'. false No

FTP/FTPS-specific configs

Parameter Name Element Type Description Default Value Required
Is Passive isPassive Boolean If passive mode is enabled, set this to 'true'.

Note the following about 'Active/Passive' mode:
  1. Active Mode: The client starts listening on a random port for incoming data connections from the server (the client sends the FTP command PORT to inform the server on which port it is listening). Nowadays, the client is typically behind a firewall (e.g. built-in Windows firewall) or NAT router (e.g. ADSL modem), unable to accept incoming TCP connections. The passive mode was introduced and is heavily used for this reason.
  2. Passive Mode: In the passive mode, the client uses the control connection to send a PASV command to the server and then receives a server IP address and server port number from the server, which the client then uses to open a data connection to the server IP address and server port number received.
true No
FTP Connection Timeout ftpConnectionTimeout Number Specify the timeout in milliseconds for the initial control connection. 100000 No
FTP Socket Timeout ftpSocketTimeout Number Specify the socket timeout in milliseconds for the FTP client. 150000 No

FTPS-specific configs

Parameter Name Element Type Description Default Value Required
KeyStore Path keyStorePath String The keystore path. - No
KeyStore Password keyStorePassword String The password to the keystore. - No
TrustStore Path trustStorePath String The truststore path. - Yes
TrustStore Password trustStorePassword String The password to the truststore. - Yes
Implicit Mode Enabled implicitModeEnabled Boolean Set this to 'true' if implicit mode is enabled.
  • Implicit: The TLS ClientHello message should be initiated by client.
  • Explicit: The client must "explicitly request" security from an FTPS server.
false No
Channel Protection Level channelProtectionLevel String The FTP Data Channel protection level. Possible values: C,S,E,P.
Example: Sends a “PROT P” command when implicit SSL is enabled.

SFTP connection configs

Parameter Name Element Type Description Default Value Required
SFTP Connection Timeout sftpConnectionTimeout Number The Jsch connection timeout in milli seconds. - No
SFTP Session Timeout sftpSessionTimeout Number The Jsch session timeout in milli seconds. 100000 No
Strict Host Key Check strictHostKeyChecking Boolean Specifies whether the Host key should be checked. If set to 'true', the connector (JSch) will always verify the public key (fingerprint) of the SSH/SFTP server. false No
Private Key File privateKeyFilePath String Path to the private key file.

Note: You can only use a key generated in a classic manner (ssh-keygen -m PEM).
false No
Private Key Passphrase privateKeyPassword String The passphrase of the private key. The security of a key (even if encrypted) is retained because it is not available to anyone else. You can specify the passphrase when generating keys. false No
File System Permission Check setAvoidPermission Boolean Set to true if you want to skip the file permission check.
Available in file-connector v4.0.9 and above.
false No

read

Reads the content and metadata of a file at a given path. Metadata of the file is added as properties while content is set to the message body (or optionally to a message context property).

Known message properties representing file properties:

Parameter Name Type Description Default Value Required
FILE_LAST_MODIFIED_TIME DateTime The time at which the file was last modified. - Yes
FILE_SIZE Number The file size (in bytes). - Yes

FILE_URL String The VFS URL of the file. - Yes
FILE_NAME String The file name or folder name. - Yes
FILE_NAME_WITHOUT_EXTENSION String The file name without the extension. - Yes

Important:

  • When reading a folder, the first file that matches the pattern will be read first. Note that sub directories are not scanned. If you need to move or delete the file before reading the folder again, use the FILE_NAME context variable.
  • The MIME type (content-type) of the message is determined by the file extension (i.e an XML file will be read as a message with the application/xml MIME type). However, users can force the MIME type by the ContentType parameter. Similarly, the Encoding parameter can be used to force the encoding.
  • You can set EnableLock to true to enable file system lock until the reading is completed and the stream is closed.
  • When large files are read, use streaming=true. Note that you need to first make necessary changes in the deployment.toml. The ContentType parameter also needs to be application/binary. Note that file reading modes are not applicable when streaming is set to true. The complete file is always streamed.

Parameter Name Element Type Description Default Value Required
File Connection name String The name of the file connection configuration to use. - Yes
File Path path String The path to the file that should be read. - Yes
File Pattern filePattern String Regex The file name pattern that should be matched when reading the file. All text files (.*.txt) No

  • Message Body
  • Message Property: The payload that was in the message body before applying the file read operation will remain intact.
- No
Property Name resultPropertyName String If Add Result To==Message Property, you need to specify this value. Result of the file read operation will be added as a default scope property by the specified name. This can now be accessed later in the flow. - No
Read Mode readMode String Available file reading modes: Read complete file, between lines, from line, upto line, single line, metadata only. Reads complete file. Yes
Start Line Num startLineNum Number Starts reading the file from the specified line. 1 No

Enable Locking enableLock Boolean Specifies whether or not to lock the file during file write.

Note: If the connector is processing a file named 'xyz.xml', a file called 'xyz.xml.lock' is created to represent the lock (with the CREATE_NEW mode). Once the file connector operation is completed, the file is deleted. When you create the lock, you can set an expiry time as well. If the connector operation fails to create the file because it already exists, that means that another process is working on it. Then connector operation will fail and the application will have to retry. Information such as the servername and PID is written to the lock file, which may be important for debugging.
false No
