FileTransferModule

The FileTransferModule can be used to send files from the Cloud Storage Account, that the Edge Device is configured to use. It can also be used to send files from the Local storage of the Edge Device to the Cloud Storage Account. The FileTransferModule also supports a number of Local Blob (files) Operations.

The FileTransferModule also supports FTP and FTPS filetransfers to a Factory Floor FTP Server. It is capable of both listing files from any FTP Server folder, Upload files to the FTP Server and Download Files from the FTP Server to the Local Storage of the Field Agent.

Finally the FileTransferModule supports installing Public Certificates in the Local Storage of the Edge Device. This is done by asking the FileTransferModule to download the Certificate from the Cloud Storage Account that the Edge Device is configured to use.

The FileTransferModule accepts a number of Direct Method Commands from the IoT Hub. These Commands will tell the FileTransferModule what operation to initiate. Any Direct Method call (Operation) performed, will return a response, telling the caller whether the operation was succesfull using an HTTP Status code, and if any error occurs during the Operation, the response will also contain a response payload containing the Error. The FileTransferModule also logs all Errors and Warnings if configured in the Module Twin.
