Hello, we would like to connect a vpn connection in a workspace in order to transmit some data from our folders found on our own server to another distant server. Is this possible with FME Desktop? We use Forticlient as a remote access. Thanks!

Hi @jessica_cadieux​ it is possible to use FME Desktop while connected to a VPN, can you elaborate a little further on your workflow like what kind of servers/formats you are working with. Thanks

@daraghatsafe​ we don't have a set workflow yet. But it would appear as a basic workflow (e.g. modifying data in a shapefile using the AttributeManager transformer). Instead of saving that shapefile in our folders, we would save it in a folder found on another server. To connect to other servers, we use a double vpn entry. First, connecting via FortiClient refering to an IP Address thanks to a remote gateway. Then, through a remote desktop connection (vpn_eg_2). We want to access the Files Explorer on the other computer.

Test by reading a file from the server or by writing a file to the server, and place the file location or destination when adding a reader or writer to the canvas.

This is the part we are trying to figure out. Do we add a esri shapefile Writer, and then adjust a specific parameter within? Or is there a Transformer that exist to connect to the different server?
