File Transfer Format (FTF) and Selection File

This document provides information on the minimum required contents for generic collection files (FTF) used for file transfers between applications. It lists the field IDs, field names, lengths, and whether they are fixed or variable. It then provides an example of what a sample FTF content file would look like. It also describes how a separate selection file (SEL) staged on the server can be used to request delivery of a specific generic file, with a simple example given of a selection file that would perform a single send of a generic file.
