You can assign and configure the FTP Adapter to an Adapter workstep in your process by performing the following procedures.
To configure the FTP adapter:
1. Click the Assign Participants link in the Tasks pane. Expand Adapters > Managed > FTP Adapter folder and drag the default GenericFTPAdapter (or a previously configured FTP adapter instance) from the Tasks pane to the Content pane, creating an FTPAdapter workstep.
2. Double-click the workstep to open its Properties view, and click the Configuration tab. This tab includes the Configure and Change mapping buttons for defining the adapter configuration and mapping respectively.
3. Click Configure to open the configurator box of the FTP Adapter Configurator.
Note: You can also open the FTP Adapter Configurator using the new Managed Adapter Browser (available only from Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge) functionality. In addition to configuring, you can use the Managed Adapter Browser to perform functions like creating a copy, renaming, deleting, as well as importing and exporting the configuration information. For more information, refer to the "Using the Managed Adapter Browser" section of the OpenEdge Getting Started: Developing BPM Applications with Developer Studio.
