Send files from a folder on your machine to any FTP server
The DocEvent Agent watches a folder on your own machine and sends each new file into a channel; DocEvent delivers it to any FTP server. Enrolled once, managed entirely from the web console — no scripts, no VPN, full audit trail.

How DocEvent Agent (on-prem) to FTP routing works
DocEvent Agent
A DocEvent Agent running on your own machine watches a folder and sends new files into the channel.
DocEvent Channel
FTP Server
Files are pushed to any FTP server you configure.
1
File arrives via DocEvent Agent (on-prem)
Enroll the agent once and manage everything from the web console — browse the machine remotely to pick the watched folder, with no local config files. It connects outbound over TLS (no inbound ports) and confirms every transfer.
2
Channel routes it
DocEvent's channel server matches the incoming file to your configured route, queues it for delivery, and ensures no file is ever lost — even during downstream outages.
3
Delivered to FTP
Active and passive FTP supported. Username/password authentication. Configurable port and path.
Common use cases
Real workflows that teams automate with a DocEvent Agent (on-prem) → FTP channel.
- Deliver ERP or accounting exports from a local folder to partner FTP servers
- Replace scripted FTP uploads with a console-managed watched folder
- Send branch-office files to head-office FTP drop zones
- Point the agent at an output folder remotely — no local configuration
The two ends don't have to be the same company — invite a customer or trading partner into the channel and they run the DocEvent Agent (on-prem) or FTP side under their own account, with their own credentials. Learn how shared channels work.
