Dear FME community,

 

 

is there a way to connect to an linux/ubuntu server from within FME Desktop? We have a server which has a specific IP adress. Say e.g.: 123.45.67.89

 

 

On this server which is a virtual machine runs Ubuntu. We would like to read from this server and if possible update the files in a specific linux folder. Is there a way from within FME to gain access to an ubuntu server?

 

 

Kind regards

 

Thomas

Hi

 

 

The easiest is probably to just set up a Samba share on your ubuntu server and access it as a regular network share from your Windows machine.

 

 

If that isn't an option, you could set up a secure ftp server and access that directly from FME.

It is a good idea to have a SSHExecutor transformer. Also, you can use ssh module in PythonCaller.
