Microsoft Azure BizTalk Services (MABS) is being retired, and replaced with Azure Logic Apps. If you currently use MABS, then Move from BizTalk Services to Logic Appsprovides some guidance on moving your integration solutions to Logic Apps.

• Create your first logic app, or quickly get started using a pre-built template

• View all the available connectors you can use in your logic apps

Configure an FTP destination for sending messages from a bridge to an FTP server. Just like the FTP Source component, the FTP Destination component can be used as the destination for an XML One-Way Bridge or a Pass-Through Bridge. An FTP Destination component cannot be used a destination for XML Request-Reply Bridge. Create and Configure a Bridge provides details on how to configure these bridges. Once you have added a FTP Destination component to the Bridge Configuration designer, select Connector from the Toolbox and connect the bridge to the FTP Destination component.

Note

A bridge deployed in BizTalk Services can only send messages to an FTP server hosted in a public domain.

Note

In order to successfully route messages to an FTP Destination, the FTP FileName must be added as a Route Action. This FileName can either be a promoted property from the FTP Source or it could be hardcoded as an expression.

Tutorials and Samples provides some end-to-end scenarios.

To add an FTP Destination to a BizTalk Service project

2. Right-click anywhere on the BizTalk Service project design area, select Properties. For the BizTalk Service URL property, enter your BizTalk Services URL.

3. From the Toolbox, drag and drop the FTP Destination component to the BizTalk Service project design area.

4. Right-click the component and select Properties. The following table provides information about the properties:

   Property	Description
   Entity Name	Enter a unique and descriptive name of the FTP destination component.
   Folder Path	Enter the folder on the FTP server where the bridge sends the message. For example, if you want to send a message to CustomerFiles\Contoso FTP folder, enter CustomerFiles\Contoso.
   Password	Enter the username password that can send files to an FTP server.
   Server Address	Enter the FTP server name or IP address.
   Server Port	Enter the FTP server port. Default is 21 and is typically used for FTP.
