How Email to FTP routing works
Email
Email attachments are captured automatically via inbound email (Amazon SES).
DocEvent Channel
FTP Server
Files are pushed to any FTP server you configure.
1
File arrives via Email
Inbound email processed via Amazon SES. Attachments extracted and routed through the channel.
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 Email → FTP channel.
- Collect emailed EDI files and route them to FTP drop zones
- Automate inbound email-to-FTP workflows for partner data exchange
- Extract attachments from inbound email and archive to FTP
- Convert email-based workflows to FTP delivery automatically
The two ends don't have to be the same company — invite a customer or trading partner into the channel and they run the Email or FTP side under their own account, with their own credentials. Learn how shared channels work.
