How to know Workload Automation Agent's FTP site


I would like to ftp put csv.file to my Workload Automation Agent which is provisioned by Bluemix. Regarding to the following Bluemix Doc, I think that I can ftp put files to the agent by the following command.

https://www.ng.bluemix.net/docs/services/WorkloadScheduler/index.html
To upload and download files to and from the Workload Automation Agent, you can use the curl command line.
curl -T DATA.DAT ftp://myftpsite.com/dat/ --user myname:mypassword

But there is no information how to know the ftp site. I think that VCAP_SERVICES values of a Workload Scheduler Service are for the connection to the service instance, not to the agent. I tried to ftp access to the url of the VCAP_SERVICES, but got the connectionn error.

Does the Bluemix Doc mean that a Workload Automation Agent is a FTP Client(No1), not FTP Server(No2) ?

Solution

  • the documentation is referring to your own ftp server, and "myftpsite.com" is just an example/placeholder. The ftp server/account could be for example: - your own ftp server - a ftp service from an account registered on a shared hosting

    and so on.

    Then you can replace myftpsite.com with your ftp service (using hostname or IP), myname and mypassword with the service account related data.
