yea this is documented in DataStage PDF, but thing is that PDF show FTP stage but in DataStage Pallate it is FTP Plugin stage ,, their properties are different.

I just looked at the Server documentation and the PDF describes the stage contents.

Many people use DSXchange instead of trying somethin in an actual job; so if you explain what you have (unsuccessfully) tried so far you will get much more assistance than if you ask for a complete step-by-step description of how to implement the FTP stage.

The only reason to use the FTP stage in DataStage is to avoid "landing" data on the DataStage server, since the stage can read or write line-by-line instead of forcing the file to be copied and stored on the server.

If you don't need this functionality it is usually simpler and more transparent (making for easier maintenance) to use the standard command line FTP.

i have not tried using folder stage .............but may be you can use it if you know the file in folder to get transfered.

to transfer a file from seq file stage you have a design like

seq file------------transformer--------------------->FTP stage.

check for ftp stage input tab properties properly for directory path on remote machine where you want your file to get transfered.

your DS installed in Unix or in Windows

ths.

"Plug-In" means "optionally installed".

The terms "FTP Plugin stage" and "FTP stage" mean the same thing.
