FTP destination module

With the FTP module, a file can be stored in a directory, whereby the file transfer takes place via FTP (File Transfer Protocol). The module can occur several times in the workflow. The access data defined in this dialog is used to gain access to the destination directory via FTP.

You can use variables in all input fields, see Variables.

Image enhancement module

The Document Processing Module

The module can be connected to all modules (this can result in nonsensical workflows).

No restrictive modules.

This field is used to specify the name that the scan file should be given.

With this switch you can specify whether a timestamp consisting of the date and time is to be appended to the name from File Name. Alternatively, you can use date and time variables in the File Name field.

In this field, enter the destination directory where the final file should be saved. The directory must exist.

The hostname of the target server is entered in this field.

Enter the port number of the connection (e.g. 21 for FTP).

The username for accessing the directory on the target server must be entered in this field.

The user's password must be entered in this field (for access to the directory on the target server).

A text-based metafile can be created for the actual destination file. This file is then transferred to the destination location in addition to the destination file (e.g. is stored in the same folder).

Encoding: Set which encoding method should be used to create the text file. The following encoding methods are available (please contact your IQ4docs contact if you require an encoding method that is not currently offered):

  • UTF-8
  • UTF-8 with BOM
  • UTF-16 big endian
  • UTF-16 little endian
  • UTF-32 big endian
  • UTF-32 little endian
  • ASCII
  • ISO 8859-15
  • Windows-1252

Note that not all (special) characters can be displayed correctly with every encoding method. Characters that cannot be displayed may be replaced by other characters.

Metafile name: Specify the name of the metafile with file extension. If no variables are used in the name (e.g. metafile.xml), the file will always be overwritten during transfer via FTP if it already exists. For SMB, an additional number is inserted in the name (e.g. metafile (1).xml). All variables can be used in the name, see Variables.

Metafile content: Use this field to define the content of the metafile. All Variables can be used in the content of the metafile. In connection with this, please also note the possibilities of Zone OCR, see Zone OCR, Barcode, QRCode module.

The ImageService processes image data (e.g. from scans) and performs file format conversions, image optimization and the OCR function. It stores files in desired destination directories (depending on the module used, the rights of the user executing its application pool are used for this purpose). Its log file is Logs\ImageService.log.
