The Inventu Viewer FTP Macro runs at the server and can be used by any customer with the IAM/Server API feature active in their license.
As a server macro, it is developed using c# and the Server Macro API which is documented at Inventu Viewer Server Macros.
At this time the macro only provides "sends" of files to FTP servers by Inventu Viewer clients using defined file names and types and administrator-controlled FTP targets servers and directories. While not as flexible as a full-function FTP client, it provides Inventu Customers with a controlled, secure approach to user-sent files.
Dependencies
The FTP Macro utilizes the FluentFTP Open Source .NET FTP application. FluentFTP has over 20 million downloads and has extensive functionality and support.
