I’d like to use BizTalk to copy a file from a Windows file server and place the copy on an FTP server. I do not want to change the structure of the file in any way – only transfer it.
I’ve been reading a lot about the “Mass Copy” functoid and “anyAttribute”, but I can’t figure out how to set-up receive and send schemas that essentially treat the file as a BLOB.
BizTalk can do that. Don’t worry about mass copy functoids or any attributes because you don’t need a map or a schema. You don’t even need to crack open Visual Studio. Just open the BizTalk administration console and create a new receive port and receive location. For the receive location, select the file adapter and configure the path to the file server. For the receive pipeline select passthrough. Now, create a new send port. Select FTP for the send adapter and configure it to point at your FTP server. Again, use a passthrough send pipeline. To direct files from the receive port to the send port you need to add a filter to your send port: BTS.ReceivePortName = <name of your receive port>.
