Warning: Celigo has not verified, used, or endorsed the S3Zipper tool. Use it at your own cost and risk.

Create a flow to zip and upload a file to an FTP server.

Requirements:

• FTP connection
• Amazon S3 connection
• HTTP connection to Amazon S3Zipper
  • Base URI: https://api.s3zipper.com/

Step 1: FTP export to retrieve files

1. Create an FTP export.
   1. Do not parse your files.

Step 2: Import your files to Amazon S3

Import (transfer) your files to Amazon S3.

1. Generate files from records: No.

3. Bucket name (required): Name of the bucket in S3, where you want the file to be saved.
4. File key (required): Add handlebars for each filename. For example, {{record.files.*.fileName}}
   

   Note: Do not substitute the fileName with your filename; it will be dynamically created by the handlebars expression.

       {"name" : "awsSecret", "value" : "*********"},
       {"name" : "awsBucket", "value" : "directoryPath"},
       {"name" : "awsRegion", "value" : "us-east-1"},
       {"name" : "filePaths", "value" : "directoryPath/{{record.files.0.fileName}}"},
       {"name" : "filePaths", "value" : "directoryPath/{{record.files.1.fileName}}"},
       {"name" : "filePaths", "value" : "directoryPath/{{record.files.2.fileName}}"},
       {"name" : "filePaths", "value" : "directoryPath/{{record.files.3.fileName}}"},
       {"name" : "zipTo", "value" : "directoryPath"},
       {"name" : "zipFileName", "value" : "{{record.files.4.fileName}}.zip"}
   ]
