Download Shape-file with authentication

Hi,

 

 

try inserting the username and password in the request URL:

 

 

http://username:password@www.server.com/path/path/file.zip

Hi,

 

If you are going to use the HTTPFetcher, then have a look at the save file and output filename parameters, when set to yes, you can specify a location to save the shapefile.

David is correct. I use this all the time and if your parameters were something like this:

 

 

ftp site: ftp.cocacola.com

 

username: breX_login

 

password: 12345678

 

path of where your shapefile is on the site: datafolder/all/shapefile.zip

 

 

You would put this full path into a reader. That reader can simply be an Esri Shape reader. Then type the following (based on my example above) into the Dataset field:

 

 

ftp://breX_login:12345678@ftp.cocacola.com/datafolder/all/shapefile.zip

 

 

Then click OK. It's as simple as that.

 

 

FYI: Be patient because typically it takes a few moments for the Reader to appear in your FME Workbench job. It's having to make the connection and find the folder and the shapefile.

 

 

GODD LUCK!!!

That should have said GOOD LUCK not GODD LUCK ... :-)
