h1. Feature

The SFTP component is a Binding Component which supports SFTP commands.

This component provide a set of 5 operation:

* *put:* Write the received JBI messages in a file with a specified name.
* *mput:* Write the JBI message attachments it receives into files.
* *get:* Retrieve *Xml* file corresponding to a pattern, from a folder. Return it as message payload.
* *getAsAttachment:* Retrieve the first file corresponding to a pattern, from a folder. Return it as message's attachment.(XOP standard)
* *mGet:* Retrieve files corresponding to a pattern, from a folder. Return them as message's attachment.
* *del:* Delete one file.
* *dir:* List the content of a folder.

h1. Exposing a SFTP connection as a service

In provide mode, the component expose an external service in the JBI environment to send SFTP commands on an SFTP server.

The component can expose directly a generic SFTP service without deploying a service unit (*Generic mode*) or use a service-unit (*Service-unit mode*).

In generic mode, parameter for the SFTP connection are set in the XML message request in a connection node (see [Generic Mode configuration|#GenericModeConfiguration]).


h2. Usage

When using the SFTP service, you can optionnaly define the SFTP connection information in your XML request. If you don't, the service unit parameters are used.

{info}* Operation need to be call explicitely in the form : \{service-namespace}operation
Example : \{[http://petals.ow2.org/components/sftp/version-1]}put



* All operations support wild card character{info}


h3. Put Operation

When the put operation is set on the incoming IN message, the component write the XML message to the SFTP server.
\\

The IN message looks like :

{code:lang=xml}<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ver:put xmlns:ver="http://petals.ow2.org/components/sftp/version-1">
<ver:body>xml body</ver:body>
<ver:filename>file name on the server</ver:filename>
</ver:put>
{code}
The service does not return a message.

The service might return an error when an element in the request is missing or if the SFTP connection failed.

The available exchange pattern is : *InOnly*.
\\


h3. MPut Operation

When the mput operation is set on the incoming IN message, the component write the attachments on the SFTP server.

The IN message looks like :

{code:lang=xml}<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ver:mput xmlns:ver="http://petals.ow2.org/components/sftp/version-1">
<ver:attachments>

</ver:attachments>
</ver:mput>
{code}
The service does not return a message.
\\

The service might return an error when an element in the request is missing or if the SFTP connection failed.

The available exchange pattern is : *InOnly*.
\\


h3. Get Operation

When the get operation is set on the incoming IN message, the component retrieve ONE file from the SFTP server and return it as an XML message content.
\\

The name of the file to retrieve is set in the XML IN content of the message.

\\
{code:lang=xml}<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ver:get xmlns:ver="http://petals.ow2.org/components/sftp/version-1">

</ver:get>
{code}
The OUT message returned to the consumer is the content of the XML file
\\

The service might return a Fault when an element in the request is missing or if the SFTP connection failed
\\

The available exchange patterns is : *InOut*.

{info}Only xml file could be processed otherwise an error will be raised.{info}

</tns:attachment>
</tns:getAsAttachmentResponse>
{code}
The service might return a Fault when an element in the request is missing or if the SFTP connection failed

The available exchange pattern is : *InOut*.



h3. MGet Operation

When the mget operation is set on the incoming IN message, the component retrieves files from the SFTP server, according to the file names (or filters) set in the XML request.
\\
There is no recursivity, sub folders are ignored.

Each file is set in the OUT message as an attachment. The IN message looks like :
\\
{code:lang=xml}<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

h2. Configuration

{anchor:GenericModeConfiguration}

h3. Generic Mode

To allow the component to provide his generic service, the component must have a wsdl with the name : component.wsdl. An example of this file is available in the component.

To deactivate the generic service supplies by the component,simply erase the file : component.wsdl.

To configure the SFTP connection in your XML message request, you have to provide a connection element.
\\
{code:lang=xml}
...
<!--Optional:-->
<ver:connection>
<ver:server>?</ver:server>
<ver:port>?</ver:port>
<ver:user>?</ver:user>

<!--Optional:-->
<ver:password>?</ver:password>
<ver:folder>?</ver:folder>
<ver:passphrase>?</ver:passphrase>
<ver:private-key>?</ver:private-key>
</ver:connection>
...
{code}

Example of a PUT request :

{code:lang=xml}
<sftp:put xmlns:sftp="http://petals.ow2.org/components/sftp/generic/version-1">
<sftp:body>xml body</sftp:body>
<sftp:filename>file name on the server</sftp:filename>
<!--Optional:-->
<sftp:connection>
<sftp:host>192.168.1.206</sftp:host>
<sftp:port>22</sftp:port>

h1. Troubleshooting

h2. Try to connect to the SFTP server using the same SSH stack

If you have *problem establishing a connection* with the SSH server, you can test your parameters with [the Petals BC SFTP tooling of Petals CLI 2.1.1 or upper|petalscli211:Petals BC SFTP tooling].
+Note+: The Petals CLI command use the same SSH stack than the component.

h2. Getting log from the SSH layer

The BC SFTP embeds [J2SSH|http://j2ssh.sourceforge.net/] as SSH client stack. You can configure the log of the SSH stack extending the [Petals ESB logging configuration|petalsesbsnapshot:Logging in Petals] with:
{code}
# The full J2SSH
com.sshtools.j2ssh.level=INFO

# J2SSH by parts
com.sshtools.j2ssh.sftp.level=INFO
com.sshtools.j2ssh.transport.level=WARNING
{code}
{note}Caution the J2SSH layer is verbose at {{INFO}} level !{note}
