ProtocolDescription

FTP/FTPS/SFTP

The software will connect to these kind of remote servers e.g. your Linux-based embedded computer, scan given subfolders for new files and download them to a defined local folder.
Patterns can be defined to only download files matching a certain expression. Examples:

  • datamap_*.jpg scans for: datamap_0001.jpg, datamap_0002.jpg, datamap_0003.jpg ....
  • mydata_%YEAR%%MONTH%%DAY%_*.dat scans for: mydata_20190806_235900.dat, mydata_20190806_235900.dat, ... and can store those files locally to an according daily folder /mcs/mysensor/%YEAR%/%MONTH%/%DAY%.
SMBConnect to Windows SMB or Linux SAMBA shares and retrieve files from there. This works especially well for AWI-/VPN-internal servers/VMs where data is stored.
The file patterns work, too, as described above in section FTP/FTPS/SFTP.
HTTPThe software will connect to a URL and download data e.g. from a web service or HTTP server. Date and time patterns such as %YEAR%, %MONTH% or %DAY% can be used in the URL to be able e.g. to gather daily extractions from a data web service.
HTTP Basic Auth and URL-based authentification is supported.
IMAPThe software will connect to a mail account, will scan the inbox for emails having certain From or Subject patterns and download those and/or attachments to a defined local folder.
The local folder definition may also contain date patterns in order to sort incoming files directly to daily or monthly sub folders: /mcs/mysensor/%YEAR%/%MONTH%/%DAY%.
RSYNCThe software will connect to a remote RSYNC server and mirror a given remote folder to a local folder e.g. on MCS.
