E-Invoicing FTP Magnet

FTP Magnet is a middleware application between your FTP server and the ClearTax E-Invoicing application. You can export data from your ERP to your own FTP server. As a part of onboarding, ClearTax configures its FTP Magnet to connect to your FTP server. The FTP Magnet reads the input files from your FTP server and uploads them to the ClearTax E-Invoicing application. Once the uploaded files are processed, it writes the response back to your FTP server.
