Hi Ronnie,

Yes it's possible, but the right question is with "which" protocol.

You have different options:
- go via a messaging middleware (like Kafka or ActiveMQ)
- use FTP or kind of shared filesystem (NFS, SMB, ...)

Basically, Camel can read (consume) files from one machine and send to ActiveMQ. Then the second machine consumes from ActiveMQ and create the file (produce).
That's an option.

Regards
JB

Hi all,

I am new to Apache Camel or any MQ software for that matter.

I need some advice. Can Camel copy files between 2 Windows servers?

My scenario is this, I have a cloud HR/Finance system (Workday) and a SWIFT 
Alliance Lite 2 server. Both systems/servers generate txt files the other 
server need. My job is to get the files copied across.

The way I do it now is this:
Workday drop a file on our secure FTP. Then I have a scheduled task that runs 
every 5-10 minutes and copy files over to the other server where the Alliance 
Lite 2 system is running and will pick up the file and process.

The other way is that a file is dropped on the Alliance Lite 2 system from 
SWIFT. My scheduled task that runs also every 5-10 minutes copy files from that 
server and over to the secure FTP server for Workday to pick up.

As you can imagine, I would be very keen to get rid of a scheduled task that 
copies files.

Can Camel help?

Best regards

Ronnie J
