How FTP Pull to HTTP Webhook routing works
FTP Pull
DocEvent connects to your FTP or FTPS server on a schedule and collects new files.
DocEvent Channel
HTTP Webhook
Files are POSTed to any HTTP/HTTPS endpoint you configure as a webhook.
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 HTTP Webhook
Multipart POST with configurable headers. Automatic retry on failure. Supports TLS.
Common use cases
Real workflows that teams automate with a FTP Pull → HTTP Webhook channel.
- Ingest EDI or batch files from partner FTP servers straight into your pipeline
- Replace hand-rolled FTP polling scripts with a managed schedule
- Feed microservices from systems that can only export to FTP
- Collect instrument or machine output from FTP drop zones into cloud processing
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 HTTP Webhook side under their own account, with their own credentials. Learn how shared channels work.
