Hi,

I have a requirement where i have to FTP a Zip file(.zip) from a remote server then Unzip it into .txt file.
Can we use FTP Enterprise stage to FTP a zip file.
when i have done a search it was clear that FTP plug-in does not transfer zip files.Is this the case with FTP Enterprise stage too.Can some one help me clarify this doubt.

Thanks

Not really. FTP stage streams the rows directly into the DataStage job. You are better advised to create a script to transfer the file and unzip it locally. (Or you could use your unzip command as a filter command in a Sequential File stage.)
