FTP Agents automatically transfer files attached to process instances that contain the FTP Agents. Like all Agents, FTP Agents take the place of Systemwalker Runbook Automation activities. Process instances started from a process definition containing an FTP Agent automatically transfer the files that are attached to them. They transfer the attached file(s) to the FTP Server of any machine to which the Management Server machine can connect.
