Now that we know how to read files, we will learn how to use the VFS transport for writing content to files, no matter what the source of the data is: another file, API, Proxy service, inbound endpoint, task, or any other.
For writing the file, we need to create an endpoint with the path where the file will be created:
- Local
- FTP
- Samba
This endpoint will be used inside a send or call mediator, as follows:
<call>
<endpoint>
<address uri="vfs:file:///home/user/vfs/out"/>
