AI-generated from the code · Odoo 12.0

Adds an FTP option to the ACP connector backend so electronic documents can be uploaded to an FTP server instead of using the default connection method.

This module extends the ACP connector backend configuration by adding a new connection type called FTP. When you set up an ACP backend, you can now choose FTP as the connection type.

  • The backend configuration screen gains an extra choice in the connection type field.
  • When the connection type is FTP, confirming the backend triggers an FTP upload of the local directory (if any) to the server.
  • When sending files, the module writes the file contents to a temporary folder, then uploads all files and subfolders to the FTP server using the host, port (default 21), user, and password configured on the backend.
  • The upload preserves the folder structure and creates missing directories on the server.
  • After a successful upload, the temporary folder is removed and a success message is returned.
  • If the connection type is not FTP or no files are provided, the standard ACP sending logic is used instead.

This module touches the backend.acp model and adds FTP-specific behaviour to the action_confirm and send methods. It does not add new menus or reports; it only adds a new option to the existing backend configuration.
