A File Server is a server where files can be placed (FTP for example) or attached (Confluence). Those storage servers will be available in workflow post-functions and Scheduled Reports, allowing you to choose where to save the generated document.
File Server Types available
Xporter provides compatibility with the following file server types;
- FTP
- FTPS
- SFTP
- Confluence
Implicit connections
Xporter, at this point, is only compatible with explicit connections.
The communication between a client and an FTP server without SSL is sent unprotected, we recommend the use of FTPS.

Xporter allows you to have multiple file servers configured. This configuration is available on the App administration section.
The operations available on this screen are:
