Report Caster to read a secure FTP file
Hi,

Does anyone know how to get ReportCaster to read a file from a secure ftp URL?

Thanks.
Greg

In which context? I've heard of RC "writing" files via SFTP distribution but not the other way around.

Reading a external distribution list or something like that?

Thanks, njsden.

I need to read a file from Windows WF that is dropped in a Unix SFTP location.
Can RC use a userid and password on the URL for SFTP and still have it secure?

Thanks.
