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

Requirements

Step 1: FTP export to retrieve files

Step 2: Import your files to Amazon S3

Import (transfer) your files to Amazon S3.

  1. Generate files from records: No.

  2. Region: The default Amazon S3 region is [us-east-1]. To change the region, select the region for this S3 account.

  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.
