connecting to a sftp server

I am trying to use either the FTP caller or the HTTP caller to post/send a file to a sftp site. I have tried multiple settings and no luck. In FileZilla I can go into site manager and choose SFTP-SSH file transfer protocol and put in all information and it works. It calls the address https:// instead of sftp:// but works and connects. My goal is to automate this so I do not have to manually connect and upload the files to the SFTP site. Any help on the settings I need to use would be greatfull:In FTP caller I have used set the URL to sftp and ftp. it stays red when I try to use https. Is their somewhere that i can declare it a sftp so it will be https?In httpcaller it will accept https but fails out. I use http authentication but will not connect still. I am not sure what else i need to do to get it to connect. My goal is to have FME send the files to this sftp so I do not have to manually do it.

In what order feature are read through a reader in FME 2016 ?

I have a script with one database (PostGIS, Oracle or SQL Server) reader and with a PythonCaller which depends on the order of the features. I run my script with FME 2016 and noticed that the order of features is different.So i wonder if something change deliberately or the order depend on something that FME can't control ? I didn't see a related subject in the changelog of the 2016 release.

How can I get the path of a tool when using Data Interoperability Extension for ArcGIS?

When using FME Desktop, you can use relative paths or the FME_HOME system parameter in the workspace to locate a data source or other resources in relation to the FMW executable location on disk. However, when using the Data Interoperability extension for ArcGIS, the FMW executable is stored in a different folder than the toolbox - for example my data interop toolbox is located in D:\\data-interop, but the actual FMW file is in C:\\users\\myuser\\AppData\\Local\\Safe Software\\Interoperability\\ArcCatalog in an ArcGIS-managed folder that seems to change names.Is there any way to use the toolbox location path in a data interop workspace, or create relative paths using the toolbox location?

http call to get a list of completed jobs with username info

I am new to FME Server. Hope I can get some help from here. I want to get a list of completed jobs with status and username from our FME Server. I can get jobs with status via a http call - /fmerest/v2/transformations/jobs/completed. But I didn't see the username info exposed through this rest endpoint. I know the postgresql fme_job_history table stores the username info. How can I retrieve it through a http call?Thanks all for your help.

Save binary formats

When using HTTPCaller you can get a binary respons, for instance a PDF with _headers{13}.value (string): application/pdf . If you "Save Response Body To : FILE" the file gets created ok. However if you choose Save Response Body to: Attribute - and then writes this data with a AttributeFileWriter or a textfilewriter it does not get saved as PDF. Is there a "Generic Binary writer" that writes in similar way as the HTTPCaller does depending on the application/pdf type?

Get coordinate system at first run

Hi everybody,   I have a weird problem with my reader.   My reader was written in C++ and requires a coordinate system for the reading procedure. So, the FME user clicks "Add Reader", selects my reader as format and a coordinate system (for example EPSG:3493). Afterwards he chooses all remaining parameters and clicks "Ok". The translation process starts automatically.  Next, my reader`s open() method starts and fetches all parameters. I use the keyword "_COORDINATE_SYSTEM" to receive the entered coordinate system.    gMappingFile->fetchWithPrefix(readerKeyword_.c_str(), readerTypeName_.c_str(), "_COORDINATE_SYSTEM", outputString) My problem: This line only works, when the reader is already added to user`s workspace and the user click on the button "Run or Resume translation of the workspace" (green play button at toolbar). It does not work at the first translation, when the user clicks "Ok" on the "Add Reader" dialog (again, the translation start automatically after the dialog is cl

inserting rows into SQL SDE table

Read in FME TEMP variable

Hi,   I am looking for a way to obtain the FME TEMP directory. As far as I know, FME defines the TEMP directory based on 4 characteristics [1]. My question is: Using a C++ reader, can I get the path currently used as temp directory?  Something similar to:  fmeSession_->fmeHome() returns the home directory of the FME ? returns the TEMP directory of the FME.   Of course, I could try to read in the TEMP environment variable by myself (stored in Control Panel | System | Advanced | Environment Variables). But I think using FME for this would be a better solution.   Thanks ben  [1] FME TEMP variable

Reader needs access to web service connection

Hi,  I have added my web service to FME: FME Workbench -> Tools -> FME Options -> Web Service Connections -> Web Services... I have also declared two parameters for the web services (username+password)  Furthermore, my reader uses the GUI type NAMED_CONNECTION [1], so users can set their username and password for my web service. My question is: How can my reader access these values/parameters?  During the open method, my reader parses the mapping file, but it only includes the chosen "Connection Name" and not the password or username.   The values/parameters are stored in FME, I verified that using again: FME Workbench -> Tools -> FME Options -> Web Service Connections  I thought, maybe FME provides some kind of service returning the values/parameters identified by the connection name and web service. Does such a service exist? Or is there another way to access the values/parameters from a given connection name?  My reader is written in C++  Thank you ver

Using a URL as publish parameter

Hi folks,  I have implemented a workbench where a published parameter represents a URL. In FME Desktop and when it is published as a service on FME Server it works ok. The service can be used without problems with a normal string as parameter value and when is used a string encoded as URL.  The problem is that an other workbench (very similiar to the first one in functionality) which works ok in FME Desktop but not when it is published on FME Server and used as a service. It works ok when a string encoded as URL is used as service parameter value, but not when the value is a normal string. (For example, if you use the URL that FME Server UI generate using the values inserted in the form, the service works ok. But if special characters ("/,"+"...) are not encoded in parameter value the service does not work.  In both workbench the parameter definition is the same and along the process the value of the parameter is the same.  Thanks!
