We are required to upload files from an OutSystem app onto a file server.  Our client has disabled some file transfer protocols on the file server.  To find out if we can use FileSystem to upload files onto the file server, what is the protocol used in the following version of FileSystem?

  • Version 3.0.3
  • Version 3.1.0 (i.e. the latest version)

Windows use SMB protocol to transfer file in shared folder.
There is no difference between version of FileSystem Component.

The simplest way is to check whether you can create file with Explorer on OutSystems Server.
If you can create file via Explorer, then you can access via FileSystem Component.

@Wei Zhu Thank you for your reply.  

This diagram shows what I understand from your explanation.  Do I understand you accurately?

That's indeed how it works. The actual transfer and use of SMB is not visible to FileSystem, it just uses calls to Windows, who handles it further.
