Introduction

Advanced installations have access to watchfolders which are accessible over FTPS.

Watch folder 2.0

Since version 21.4

Inside the watchfolder, you have to upload files to a path of the following form

/<OrganisationName>/<Workflow>/<Classification RecordId>/<ZoneId>

For example

/my-organsation/media_upload/94504…/aa965ae3-9916-402a-a576-cc18efb53ebf

Restrictions

The system detects new files in the watchfolder automatically, to avoid accidently picking up files are that already being uploaded, you must upload it with the filename ending in *.part for example my-document.pdf.part. Once the upload completes, rename the file to its original filename, for example my-document.pdf.
