Ability to publish CSV/TSV files accessible on an FTP server

Open alaurenz opened this issue 11 years ago • 1 comments

This would enable setting the fileToPublish to be a file accessible via FTP (i.e. ftp://data.city.org/datafile.csv). So instead of having the CSV/TSV on the local machine or networked drive it can be obtained directly by DataSync from an FTP server.

This feature did not make it into the release because we were not able to do enough QA testing to ensure it was reliable. The source code to enable this is commented out here in the master branch: https://github.com/socrata/datasync/blob/master/src/main/java/com/socrata/datasync/FTPUtility.java#L583

We are considering this feature for the next release of DataSync.
