Hi,

 

 

 

In a workspace, I will regularly update a source that is available as a zipped shape file from a secured ftp site with a username and password.

 

 

 

So I’m using the shape reader, and using a path like(ftp://<3.ftp/*_*.zip) in the FME shape file reader location, but FME returned the following error when running the workspace

 

 

 

ERROR |Shape Reader: No Shape Files found to process in directory,…

 

 

 

Obviously, I need to pass my logging credentials to download and read the zip file, so how can I pass the username and password in this case?

Hi Sami,

 

 

Try this syntax:

 

ftp://<user>:<password>@<ftp server name>/<directory path>/<file name>
