How to connect via FTP

[FlorianKrippner]

Sorry for making an issue for this topic, but i am stuck a couple of days already. Maybe someone could help me out :)

I want the 'FileSystem Source Connector' to read a file via ftp and write it to a kafka topic.
This is my propertie file right now:

name=FsSourceConnector
connector.class=com.github.mmolimar.kafka.connect.fs.FsSourceConnector
tasks.max=1
fs.uris=file:///c:/development/kafka/pnw/data/connect-plugin-kafka-connect-fs
topic=kafka-connect-fs-test
policy.class=com.github.mmolimar.kafka.connect.fs.policy.SimplePolicy
policy.recursive=true
policy.regexp=^.*.dat$
policy.batch_size=0
policy.cleanup=none
file_reader.class=com.github.mmolimar.kafka.connect.fs.file.reader.CobolFileReader
file_reader.batch_size=0
file_reader.cobol.copybook.path=file:///c:/development/kafka/pnw/data/connect-plugin-kafka-connect-fs/VEBU.cob
file_reader.cobol.reader.is_ebcdic=true
file_reader.cobol.reader.is_record_sequence=false

At the moment i have the file for test porpuse locally on my pc and it successfully writing the file to the kafka topic.
fs.uris=file:///c:/development/kafka/pnw/data/connect-plugin-kafka-connect-fs

Normally the file is only accessible via ftp. How i can change fs.uris to work with ftp? In the documentation its saying its support ftp, but i couldn't find any more docs about it.

Hi!
Yes, you can access to SFTP or FTP server setting its corresponding URI (ftp://xxxx)
