Installing the Petals BC SFTP tooling pack

Through Debians packages

If you have installed Petals ESB CLI using the Debian packages, we recommend you to install the Petals BC SFTP tooling pack using its own Debian package (petals-cli-bc-sftp). Otherwise, unzip the content of the ZIP archive in the directory $PETALS_CLI_HOME/extensions.

Through ZIP archives

If you have installed the full ZIP archive, the extension should be already installed. Otherwise, unzip the content of the ZIP archive petals-cli-bc-sftp in the directory $PETALS_CLI_HOME/extensions.

Installation verification

To check that the installation is correct, just get the list of available commands of your Petals ESB CLI, you should see the command 'bc-sftp.*' in the list:

> ./petals-cli.sh -c -- help
Available commands:
...
   bc-sftp.check-connect
               Check connection establishment of the BC SFTP.
   connect     Connect to a Petals ESB node.
...
