how to add FTP connector
Hi,
I want to add new FTP connector to Bonita 7.3.3, community version in order to download PDF file.
I downloaded commons-net-3.5.jar file. How I can add it to Bonita?
I imported .jar with "Manage .jars", copy to Lib directory but can't see it if I try to add a connector.
Thanks!
Polina

FTP Connector to download a file?
I think this is the wrong use of the wrong tool.
Bonitasoft provides (almost) easy mechanisms for handling files and downloading them is easy.
See the example in http://community.bonitasoft.com/project/file-upload-and-download-process...

Hi Polina,
I would like to do the same thing with FTP.
Our Use Case is to poll an external SFTP server and download CSV file to File server to be be processed by Bonita Process. The FTP connector would have functionality to download specific path/file.csv from BDM or to return list of files from a filename filter (possibly using wildcard/regex).
FTP connector would also be able to delete files from FTP server and load files back to FTP server.
I saw that there is an FTP connector at https://community.bonitasoft.com/project/ftp but is for an older version of Bonita.
The info from matthieu.chaffotte at https://community.bonitasoft.com/answer-how-upgrade-bonita-5x-process-59... indicates the Connector would have to be import/export through each major version of Bonita to v7.7 to make it work but this seems a bit difficult.
Did you find a way to manage files on external FTP server?
