XML Format for Site Import or Export

bigstar · 03-25-2009, 05:29 PM

The xml structure is fairly simple

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252"?>
<SITES VERSION="1.2">
  <SITE NAME="Server Name">
   ......
  </SITE>
</SITES>

The <SITES> section is made up of the following tags

Tags and Values
GROUP = If you want the site within a sub group you format it like a file path i.e. \my group\
PROTOCOL = "FTP" or "SFTP"
ADDRESS = the hostname or IP address of the server.
PORT = The port number in which the server is listening on.
USERNAME = your login name.
PASSWORD = your password.
ACCOUNT = your account name, this field is optional and only supported when the PROTOCOL is set to FTP. Most servers do not require this field.
REMOTEPATH = the remote folder to start in i.e. /home/
LOCALPATH = the local folder to start in i.e. c:\downloads\
PASSIVE = "DEFAULT", "ON", "OFF" (Only applies to FTP PROTOCOL)
SSL = "NONE", "IMPLICIT SSL", "AUTH SSL", "AUTH TLS" (Only applies to FTP PROTOCOL)
NOTES = any text notes you want to include with the site.

Here is an example of a couple sites, first one is FTP and second is SFTP

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252"?>
<SITES VERSION="1.2">
  <SITE NAME="my ftp site">
     <GROUP>\name\</GROUP>
    <PROTOCOL>FTP</PROTOCOL>
    <ADDRESS>127.0.0.1</ADDRESS>
    <PORT>21</PORT>
    <USERNAME>user</USERNAME>
    <PASSWORD>pass</PASSWORD>
    <ACCOUNT>acct</ACCOUNT>
    <REMOTEPATH>/home/user/</REMOTEPATH>
    <LOCALPATH>C:\downloads\</LOCALPATH>
    <PASSIVE>DEFAULT</PASSIVE>
    <SSL>NONE</SSL>
    <NOTES>
      <![CDATA[This is my 
multiline
note]]>
    </NOTES>  </SITE>
  <SITE NAME="my sftp site">
    <PROTOCOL>SFTP</PROTOCOL>
    <ADDRESS>127.0.0.1</ADDRESS>
    <PORT>22</PORT>
    <USERNAME>user</USERNAME>
    <PASSWORD>pass</PASSWORD>
    <REMOTEPATH>/home/user/</REMOTEPATH>
    <LOCALPATH>C:\downloads\</LOCALPATH>
  </SITE>
</SITES>
