Add/Edit File Import Source

The Add / Edit Import Source dialog allows the user to add a new Import Source to the system. The user may also select an existing Import Source and press the Edit button to set the Source parameters. The dialog has the following:

• URI Type. The control specifies if the source is an FTP server or a File Share.
• URI. Contains the user defined text that describes either the file share location or the ftp server address. If the URI Type is file, the URI starts with file://. If the URI Type is ftp, the URI starts with ftp:// .
• FTP Settings. This section contains the specific FTP connection information. The section is not enabled when the URI Type is File. FTP Settings configuration are described in the FTP Settings section.
• Test URI. This validates the connection using the current source settings. If the chose URI Type is file, the system verifies that the file share specified in URI exists. If the URI Type is FTP, the system validates the connection to the FTP server specified in URI. When Use SSL is checked, Test URI presents the server certificate upon successful login. The user may then accept and use the certificate if they want to validate the server before each transfer.

The following syntax is acceptable for defining the import source: C:\dir, file://C:\dir, file://server/dir, \\server\dir, //server/dir, file://\\server\dir.
