FTPLogin Property

This feature will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use this feature.

The FTPLogin property exposes the security account used to connect to a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server that maintains replication subscription synchronization images.

Syntax

object
.FTPLogin [=value ]

Parts

  • object
    An expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list

  • value
    A string that identifies a server security account

Data Type

String

Modifiable

Read/write

Prototype (C/C++)

HRESULT GetFTPLogin(SQLDMO_LPBSTR pRetVal);
HRESULT SetFTPLogin(SQLDMO_LPCSTR NewValue);

Remarks

Microsoft SQL Server replication can use FTP to transfer synchronization images of publication schema and data. Use the FTPAddress, FTPPort, FTPLogin, and FTPPassword properties to enable use of FTP for synchronization.

Applications should use the MergePublication2 or TransPublication2 objects when setting the FTPLoginproperty. The FTPLoginproperty remains a property of the TransPullSubscription and MergePullSubscription objects to maintain backward compatibility.

Note

If an application sets FTPLoginwith the MergePublication2 or TransPublication2 object after the initial snapshot has been created, a new snapshot must be generated. Snapshots are applied when the next scheduled snapshot agent runs.
