Hi
If you are trying to direct the outbound message to a local box (UNIX box) then it would be better to use the File 1.0 transport.
For FTP you need to give the following information when creating the Transport Server
Hostname - the hostname or ip address of a machine which has an FTP Server running.
Username -
Password -
Apart from this, you need to populate the endpoint. This would be the directory into which you want the message to be put on the FTP Server machine. Note that the path would be relative to the directory into which the user is logged in during ftp session.
The polling interval needs to be set for the Host Trading Partner Delivery Channel, but this has a default setting of 60 seconds. No other FTP parameters are needed to be changed under a simple scenario.
I dont think the Status as disabled is being used by B2B. I checked in my environment and this also shows all endpoints to be in disabled status whereas these are working fine. Please ignore this column.
For File and FTP you need to create your own endpoints.
I have given some sample scenario case in the Thread : Re: [URGENT]Internal Delivery Channels of B2B
