Binary File Handling

Export a File field using Report XML export

Put <!--FileExportBinary--> inside details box of Custom Export template

XML exported

Export XML size will be at least twice the total size of all files.

Autoloader can be used to import file field as well

Three nodes are mandatory:

• filename,
• url and
• data

The file node MUST contain a datatype="binary" attribute.

The system will ignore the data node if the URL starts with "http" or "ftp." The system will download a copy from the remote site and store a local copy.

if authentication is required for FTP resources, please use this format:
ftp://username:password@hostname/myfolder/my.document.doc
