XLIFF file (FTP) connector

This connector automatically sends the XLIFF files, generated by the Translations module, to an FTP server of the translation agency. When the items are translated, the agency uploads them on the FTP server and the connector automatically imports them in Sitefinity.

   • UserName
     The username for the FTP server
   • Password
     The password for the FTP server

     The name of the export folder where all exported .xlf files will be located. If not existing, the folder is automatically created.
   • Port
     The port to be used to connect to the FTP server. This is an optional parameter. The default value is 21.

10. Click Parameters and create a new parameter with Key acknowledgeEveryMessage and Value false
    The default value of this parameter is true. It means that different users, who work with different translation projects with the same connector credentials, can have access to each other's projects and potentially cause conflicts.
    For example, one user can approve the translation of another user in a different project.

    If this use case is applicable to your scenario, you should create this parameter, set its value to false, and save your changes.
