Seon offers an easy way to create Seon Enterprise receive jobs from FTP server content. This solution is based on two mechanisms:
- Mount remote server directory as a local directory
- Configure the Seon Directory Scanner to that mounted directory
This documentation covers all technical aspects to implement a functionality to automatically fetch new files from an (S)FTP server.
Assumption
All details explained here are based on the freely available pre-installed Seon VMware virtualized image, which is also available for other virtualization solutions via OVA. In general, all solutions explained here can be used in any modern Linux environment. All steps explained here must be executed as user "root" unless any other documentation states to switch user context.
Install required packages
You need to install the following packages for (S)FTP mounting:
apt-get -y install sshfs curlftpfs
Change user group membership
The user running Seon (configured in "Configuration" -> "Daemon" -> "Run Seon programs as user" must be added in the user group "fuse":
adduser www-data fuse
