Create .fqf Files

[cdun2]

I need to set up a schedule for file delivery, and I see that in order to set up a Task, I need to reference a Queue file? How do I set one of these up?

Thanks.

I've taken a look at this: https://oss.azurewebsites.net/forum/showthread.php?t=1237

I am totally confused on how the .fqf file is supposed to be set up. I have an SFTP site, and I want to set up a schedule to transfer files to a folder on that site.


The type would be a file (0)
The transfer direction would be to the SFTP server (0)
The Source Host is my local C drive.
The Target Host (in Site Manager) is named LocalSFTP
The source filename is C:\SFTP_FileUploadTest\TestFile.txt
The target filename is Test/TestFile.txt

I'm not sure about what the file size would be at the time of upload. Is this basically how the contents of the file should look?

<Type>[0]<Direction>[0]<Source Host>[C:\SFTP_FileUpload\]<Target Host>[LocalSFTP]<SourceFileName>[C:\SFTP_FileUploadTest\TestFile.txt]<Target Filename>[TestFile.txt]<File Size>[?????]

I take it that I need to create these in a text editor and save them as .fqf files? I didn't see a utility in the application for this.

Thank you for your help.

The easiest way to create a fqf file is to connect to the server and queue the files/folders and save it, then use this saved fqf in your schedule.

If you need to generate a fqf externally with a file list that doesn't exist now but will right before the task is run then the easiest way is to take a fqf created using the above method and edit the filename bit, you can update the file size when generating the fqf or set it to 0.

Looking at an existing fqf is the easiest way to understand the format.

Okay, I have that figured out now. I have some other questions, so I will do a new post.

Thank you for your help.
