6. The Files box will be revealed. Add a new row to this by clicking on

the + button and change the Filemask value to filearchive*.txt .
This will select all of the files matching this name format.

7. Let's leave the other parameters unchanged and run the job. Check the

Target directory and you will see the newly created archive file.

As an exercise, create a job that takes an archive file and unzips its contents to
a directory. A sample job for this task can be found in the resources directory
of this chapter.

FTP file operations
Integration jobs often connect different systems residing on different servers; so the
Studio's FTP components will frequently play a part in your developments. The
Studio supports many FTP actions—for example, Get, Put, Delete, Rename, File List,
File Exist, and so on—and we'll look at how to use some of these in this section.

Readers may find it useful to have an FTP client installed on their computers to
follow this section of the chapter and to check that files have been FTP'd correctly.
There are many free FTP clients available for download on the Internet. FileZilla is
recommended and can be downloa ded from http://filezilla-pro ject.org/ .
