File Transfer plug-in enhancements

The IBM Workload Scheduler plug-in for File Transfer has been greatly enhanced with several new features.
  • With wildcards support (‘*ʼ and ‘?ʼ) for the file name, you can easily transfer more than one file by using the same job. You can view the name, size, and transfer time for each transferred file, both in the job log and in the job properties.
  • Certificate authentication is now supported for the SSH protocol: you can specify the keystore file path without having to use the user name and password to authenticate on the remote server.
  • When downloading files, you can now set file permissions for the user on the local system.
  • You can request that a local source file is automatically deleted after it has been transferred.
