Use the FTP connector in DataStage® to create jobs that read and write data.

Prerequisite

Create the connection. For instructions, see Connecting to a data source in DataStage and the FTP connection.

Path in target output

When you run a job that writes data to an FTP data source, you can specify either an absolute path or a relative path. When you specify a relative path, the home or login directory is prepended to the target. For example, if you specify the target without a leading forward slash (/) like tmp/SampleData.txt, the path resolves to /home/username/tmp/SampleData.txt.
