How can the library scan function automate my file transfer tasks?
In addition to being able to process received files, the library scan function can automatically send a file via FTP to a remote site. You can define an FTP session for a file to library scan and it will use that session to do the transfer. All file transfers initiated by library scan are recorded in the detailed log and the history file. If you have many files that are being transferred to the same remote system, or that are similar in their transfer requirements you can use one script and define substitution parameters for the file name, user ID and password, and other aspects of the transfer. This simplifies the set up tasks for transferring files.
