How FTP Pull to FTP routing works
FTP Pull
DocEvent connects to your FTP or FTPS server on a schedule and collects new files.
DocEvent Channel
FTP Server
Files are pushed to any FTP server you configure.
1
File arrives via FTP Pull
Scheduled outbound polling of any FTP or FTPS server — nothing to install on it. Filename pattern filtering, completed-file detection, then each collected file is deleted or moved to a processed folder. TLS certificate verification for FTPS.
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 FTP Pull → FTP channel.
- Collect files from a partner's FTP server and republish them on your own
- Migrate between FTP providers while both stay live — no cutover risk
- Mirror a supplier's drop zone into your internal FTP infrastructure
- Bridge two FTP-only systems that can't be pointed at each other
The two ends don't have to be the same company — invite a customer or trading partner into the channel and they run the FTP Pull or FTP side under their own account, with their own credentials. Learn how shared channels work.
