# Examples

## FTP Example

In this example, the **Data Exporter** module is used to upload all data sent from an OPC UA client to an FTP server.

- **Step 1**: Add a new module in the **"**Modules**"** section, choose a name, and select **"**DataExporter**"** in the **"**Module type**"** field.

- **Step 2:** Configure the **Logger** and **API** for the **Data Exporter** module. In this example, the default configuration has been left unchanged, since in most cases, this is a valid configuration option.

- **Step 3:** Add a new agent in the “Model” section and choose a name for it.

- **Step 4:** Configure the Agent (Output path, File compression, File type, Date format, File upload, etc.) and save the changes. In this example, data will be transferred to FileZilla, which is a free local FTP client. Since the files will be uploaded to an FTP server, the agent has been named “Agent_FTP“. All files will be exported as XML Files. The date format is ISO8601. For the connection section, configuration would be as follows: Host: localhost, Port: 21, Username: FTP server.

- **Step 5**: Add a new group in **Agent** and select a name for it.

- **Step 6:** Configure the **Group** (Filename, Period, Mode, Input tag group, etc.). In this example, the Group has been named “Electrical meter”, since the data has been collected from an electrical meter. The “Electrical meter” tag group has been selected in the “Input Tag Group” field in order to filter the data due to be exported.

## SFTP Example

In this example, the **Data Exporter module** is used to upload data being sent from an OPC UA client to an SFTP server.

- **Step 1**: Add a new module in the "Modules" section, choose a name and select "DataExporter" in the "Module type" field.

- **Step 2:** Configure the **Logger** and **API** for the **Data Exporter** module. In this example, the default configuration has been left as it is, since in most cases, this is a valid configuration option.

- **Step 3:** Add a new agent in the “Model” section and choose a name for it.

- **Step 4:** Configure the **Agent** (Output path, File compression, File type, Date format, File upload, etc.) and save the changes. In this example, the data will be transferred to Rebex Tiny, which is a free local SFTP server.

Since the files will be uploaded to a local SFTP server, the Agent has been named "Agent_SFTP". The files will be exported as CSV Files. The date format is ISO8601. For the connection section, the configuration would be: Host: localhost, Port:22, Username: tester.![SFTP%202](https://cdn.document360.io/54093ab5-6b22-4542-a265-04377931f11a/Images/Documentation/SFTP%202.png)

- **Step 6:** Configure the **Group** (Filename, Period, Mode, Input tag group, etc.). In this example, the Group has been named “Electrical meter”, since the data has been collected from an electrical meter. The “Electrical meter” tag group has been selected in the “Input Tag Group” field in order to filter the data due to be exported.
