Registering FTP Data Source


To retrieve data from an external FTP data source, you first need to configure the connection information for the FTP data source.

Prerequisites


Before you begin, ensure the following:

  • Your account has been granted the required asset permissions, operation permissions, and menu group access. If not assigned, contact OU administrator.

  • You have obtained the detailed connection configuration of the data source, including the server IP address, port number, database name, access credentials, password, etc.

Procedure


  1. Log in to the EnOS Application Portal, and select Data > Data Source Registration from the left navigation bar.

  2. Click Add Data Source.

  3. On the Add Data Source page, complete the following configurations:

    Basic Information:

    • Data Source Type (Required): Select FTP.

    • Data Source Name (Required): Enter a name for the data source. The maximum length is 50 characters, and the name can consist of:

      • Letters

      • numbers

      • _ (underscore)

      • - (hyphen)

    • Data Source Description: Enter a description for the data source. The maximum length is 100 characters and supports internationalization (default, Chinese, English).


    Configuration Information:

    • Type (Required): Select either FTP or FTPS as the connection protocol.

    • Mode (Required): Select the connection mode:

      • Active: Connection is initiated by the FTP server.

      • Passive: Connection is initiated by the FTP server.

    • IP Address (Required): Enter the IP address of the FTP server.

    • Encryption Mode (Required for FTPS): Select either Explicit or Implicit encryption.

    • Encryption Type (Required for FTPS): Select either TLS or SSL encryption for the FTP connection.

    • Port：Enter the port number for connection (default: 21 for both FTP and FTPS).

    • Username (Required): Enter the database access username. The character rules are the same as for the data source name.

    • Password (Required): Enter the password for the username.

  4. Click Test to verify the connectivity of the data source.

  5. After a successful test, click Confirm.

    • Connectivity is not validated during data source creation. A data source can still be created even if the connectivity test fails.

    • If the connectivity test fails five times consecutively, the account will be locked for 10 minutes.

Outcome


Once the data source is successfully registered, it will appear in the Data Source Registration list. Users can view basic information about all data sources within the OU, but only the creator can modify or delete their registered data sources. For more details, see Managing Data Source.
