File System Transfer Receiver ( FTR / FSTR )


The File System Transfer Receiver (abbreviated as an FTR or FSTR) is a mechanism for publishing from Alfresco's Document Management repository to a File System using the Replication Service.

The FTR uses the replication service. It includes an embedded Tomcat and an embedded Derby database.
