This page explains the URL Adapter in Bridge context. If you were looking for the same information regarding the PAS Designer, refer to URL Adapter in the Designer guide.

FTPS (not to be confused with SFTP), which is also known widely as FTP Secure or FTP-SSL, is an extension to the normal File Transfer Protocol FTP adding  the support for the cryptographic protocols Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Secure Socket Layer (SSL).

Creating a service connecting to an FTPS server can be done by simply creating a normal FTP backend. The difference is, that you need to define the FTPS protocol and the according port, method etc. in your <<URLAlias>> within your component diagram.

Useful cURL Options

OptionDescription
CURLOPT_SSLVERSION=CURL_SSLVERSION_SSLv2Via this option, you can tell the <<URLAdapter>> to explicitly use SSL version 2. This may be necessary, if the server has problems with TLS/SSLv3.

There are many more cURL options, which might be needed for a service to run. Follow this link to get the full listing of all options: http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/curl_easy_setopt.html. A further list of cURL options supported by the E2E Bridge can be found in Setting cURL Options on the URL Adapter.
