File

The File data type represents the contents of a file, complete with formatting, encoding, and file extension.

Example

`file` argument of the "Ftp file" adaptor

The ftp-file adaptor produces a File from the file argument, by importing the file from a URL.

In most situations, Data-flo uses the file data type only as a step in importing or exporting data, since most data manipulation within a data-flo requires other data formats.
