WebDAV connector

When to use this connector

Use this connector to create Flows that work with files in WebDAV.

Step 1. In the Connections window, click +, and select Files.

Step 2. Select WebDAV.

Step 3. Enter Connection parameters.

URL: protocol://host:optional-port. Example (with no port): https://yourcompany.com. Example (with port): https://p112345.prod.phx3.secureserver.net:2078.
Directory: the actual directory containing the files. This parameter is optional.
Files: the actual file name or a wildcard file name, for example, *.csv.
User: username.
Password: password.
Preemptive Authentication: select this to enable preemptive authentication.
Enable ZIP Compression: select this to enable ZIP compression.
Add Suffix When Creating Files in Transformation: you can select one of the predefined suffixes for the files created using this Connection. For example, if you select uuid as a suffix and the original filename is dest.csv, Etlworks Integrator will create files with the name dest_uuid.csv, where uuid is a globally unique identifier such as 21EC2020-3AEA-4069-A2DD-08002B30309D.

This parameter works only when the file is created using source-to-destination-transformation. Read how to add a suffix to the files created when copying, moving, renaming, and zipping files.

Enable Wildcard File Name: if there are multiple source files in a folder, you can specify an algorithm that will be used to select the next source file to process. For example, if Files is set to *.csv and oldest is selected, Etlworks Integrator will always select the oldest file in the folder which matches the wildcard *.csv.
Override Wildcard File Name set for Connection: if Wildcard File Names are allowed, Override Wildcard File Name set for Connection is enabled, and the file name entered in the FROM field of the transformation is a wildcard file name, the system will override the file name entered at the Connection level. The default behavior is to use the wildcard file name entered when configuring the Connection.
