About commands on an FTP host

FTP hosts can be configured to execute commands in any of the following situations:

• Upon signon
• Per file, before files are transferred
• Per file, after files are transferred

  For an FTP Source, you can configure additional commands to execute on a per-file basis, before and after each transfer. The commands that are configured at the Host level are also executed. For more information, see FTP Host - Additional Properties.

  To access Additional Commands settings:

• For an existing task: Select TASKS. Click the task name. Click Step > Source. Or if the source is already defined, click its more options icon and select Edit.
• For a new task: Click TASKS > Add Task > New Task. Click Step > Source. Add an FTP source.
