Push

The Push step is used to deliver files from the current file set to a remote server.

Friendly Name	INI Variable	Required?	Description
Site	site	required	The name of a Managed Site record defined in the Configurator
File Filter	specification	optional	Specification for file to match. default is *
File Path	path	optional	Remote directory into which the file should be dropped
Preserve Path	preserve_paths	optional	Duplicate the folder path of each file in the current file set
Overwrite	overwrite	optional	Overwrite files already at the destination? Possible values are "true", "false", and "append", without quotes. The default is "true".

This step can overwrite files on the remote server. You can use overwrite=”false” to check that none of the files that are to be uploaded exist on the server before the upload begins. If any files are found on the server with the same name as the files to be uploaded, then no files will be uploaded. Instead the step will return error $ERROR_SEND_FILE_CANCELLED. After the check the files are uploaded sequentially.

If you use the overwrite="append" option, the step will attempt to append the file to be uploaded to an existing file on the server. If the server supports it, the step will create a new file in cases where there is not already a file on the server with the same name.

Please see the Robo-FTP Help file for more information about creating Managed Site records in the Configurator.

The Framework controls the working folder so the value of a Managed Site's "Initial Local Directory" field is ignored when used in this step.

Note: Use the Deliver step to copy files to a locally accessible server with the UNC path.
