How HTTP Upload to FTP routing works
HTTP Upload
Files arrive via HTTP POST to a dedicated DocEvent channel endpoint.
DocEvent Channel
FTP Server
Files are pushed to any FTP server you configure.
1
File arrives via HTTP Upload
REST endpoint accepts multipart/form-data file uploads with optional authentication headers.
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 HTTP Upload → FTP channel.
- Bridge modern web upload APIs to FTP-based partner systems
- Accept files from web forms or apps and route them to FTP
- API-to-FTP gateway for legacy system integration
- Receive files via REST API and distribute to FTP drop zones
The two ends don't have to be the same company — invite a customer or trading partner into the channel and they run the HTTP Upload or FTP side under their own account, with their own credentials. Learn how shared channels work.
