# 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.
