Is it possible to download files from Plesk server, using their RPC API (similarly to Uploading files to server)? Or should I use FTP for transfer instead (or other supported transport protocol)?
Thanks in advance!
There is only "download-file" operation in Plesk API RPC, but it is only in scope of backup files operation - http://download1.parallels.com/Plesk/PP12/12.0/Doc/en-US/online/plesk-api-rpc/44588.htm
So, use FTP transfer if you mean other files.

I have a logic app that retrieves PGP files from some client's SFTP server and stores them in one of our storage accounts. The logic app worked flawlessly until we start receiving files over 50 Mb. Due to the limitation build into the (decprecated) SFTP Connector we had to replace it with the SFTP-SSH Connector. The problem is that this new connector doesn't transfer files in the same manner at the previous one or the FileZilla Client does. I don't know the magic sauce that FileZilla or the old SFTP Connector was adding to the file to make them adequate for decryption in Windows.
For example, using FileZilla a file shows as having 36,693 bytes on the client's server but when I download it using FileZilla or the old connector I am getting a file with 37,017 bytes and that goes through the rest of the process without a hitch.
With the new connector I get a file with exactly 36,693 bytes that cannot be used.
So, my question is what are those 324 extra bytes and how can I get the SFTP-SSH connector to add them? (my guess is that it has something to do with the line endings, unix vs. Windows but I don't know).
Here is the connector I'm talking about: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/connectors/connectors-sftp-ssh
Our objective is as follows
a) Pick up a file "Test.csv" from a Secure FTP location.
b) After picking up the file we need to insert the contents of the file into an object in Salesforce.
I created the following connection for the Remote SFTP (the location which will contain "Test.csv")
Step 1
This is as shown below
Step 2
Then I started to build a Data Synchronization Task as below
What we want is for the Informatica Cloud to connect to the secure FTP location and extract the contents from a .csv from that location into our object in Salesforce.
But as you can see in Step 2, it does not allow me to choose .csv from that remote location.
Instead the wizard prompts me to choose a file from a local directory (which is my machine ...where the secure agent is running) and this is not what I want
What should I do in this scenario ?
Can someone help ?
You can write a UNIX script to transfer the file to your secure agent and then use informatica to read the file. Although, I have never tried using sftp in cloud, I have used cloud and I do know that all files are tied up to the location of the secure agent( either server or local computer) .
The local directory is used for template files. The idea is that you set up the task using a local template and then IC will connect to the FTP site when you actually run the task.
The Informatica video below shows how this works at around 1:10:

Can you elaborate the Secure agent OS as in Windows or Linux.
For Windows environment you will have to call the script using WINSCP or CYGWIN utility I recommend the former.
For Linux the basic commands in script should work.
So I'm trying to transfer files to a remote computer on an SSH system. 'I've used the sftp command, used lls to confirm the presence of the file in the local computer, and then implemented the put filename command. However, I receive the same result each time:
stat filename: No such file or directory
I just don't know what's going wrong! Any help or troubleshooting tips would be appreciated.
If you're currently using Windows you can download winscp and use that to transfer files. It has a nice graphic interface that is easy to interact with
Well, supposing that you are on a Linux/Unix environment, you could use scp. Typically, the syntax for an scp command would be like this:
$ scp foobar.txt your_username#remotehost.net:/some/remote/directory
The above command copies the file foobar.txt which resides in the local computer, to a specific directory in the remote machine, using a username (you will be asked for a password later).
The sftp command line client uses the ssh transport and will tunnel your connections using your key. So if you have ssh access, you should also have sftp access. This is a secure option for people who are more comfortable with ftp. Most GUI ftp clients should also support sftp.
I was facing also in this issue when trying to upload files from the local to the remote server. I did commands well and clean but the mistake I was making was that: I've logged into the remote server with ssh and then login with sftp. In that way, sftp will consider that your remote server is the local (as I logged in first to this via ssh) when using the command below:
put /c/path/to/file.txt
So, the thing to do is to login directly to the server via sftp and putting your local files in there.
I want to create a Lotus Notes agent that will run on the server to generate a text file. Once the file is created, I need to send it to a remote server.
What is the best/easiest way to send the file to a remote server?
Thanks
If your "remote" server is on a local windows network, you can simply copy the file from the server file system to a UNC path (\myserver\folder\file.txt) using the FileCopy statement. If not, you may want to look at using a Java agent, which would make more file transfer protocols easily accessible.
In either case, be sure to understand the security restrictions on Notes agents - for your agent to run on the server and create a file on the server's file system, the agent will need to be flagged with a runtime security level of 2 or 3, and signed by an appropriately authorized ID.
Sending or copying files using O/S like commands to a remote server require that destination servers be also mapped as drives on your source server. As Ed rightly said, security needs to allow you to save files down onto the server and then try and copy them.
You can generate the file locally on the server and then use FTP commands in a script to send the file. Or if you're a java guru, you can try using Java.FTP to send the file as well. I had some trouble with it, but it should be possible providing an FTP account is setup on the destination server. FTP related stuff by a well known notes guy can be found here and here
I have done it using a script, and it's clumsy but effective in simply pushing files around. Ideally, if the server at the other end is a Domino server as well, you could actually attach the file in an email and send it to a mailin account on the destination server. I have done that before, and it's great as you can just pass the whole problem of getting files off to the SMTP process.
I own a website with 20 GB data on it Now I decided to change the Hosting compnay .
I'm Moving to Russian VPS so is there a way to transfer the contents of my website to the Russian VPS without uploading them again .
Is there a service that does this.
I heard that there is a way to do this using shell access (BUT what is shell access and how it works)
thanx in advance guys
You can log in to one of your old host using an SSH connection, then connect from there to your new host, again using an SSH connection, and then upload all files from your first server to the second. For databases, do a data dump on your first server, and through the SSH connection, run the data dump against a database on your new server.
Depending on the hosts, how you connect via SSH will differ, but there should be instruction available from the providers. If you can't find the directions, just e-mail the provider's support and ask.
If you have access to the server itself, you can ftp into your old site from the new server, and download all the data from the new server, without having to download to a personal computer.
If your current provider supports FTP, you can issue FTP commands from your new VPS to the current FTP site. If your data is in DB - backup and transfer backup.
You can't avoid 40Gb of transfer (20 out from old site and 20 in new one).
This is one of the reasons that makes Amazon S3 a good thing.
