Limitations
Map Designer can connect to sources that can be represented as a file or file stream, like WHOIS and HTTP. It cannot connect to interactive session resources, like TELNET or RLOGIN.
HTTP and FTP are supported. While it is possible to send data to targets using these protocols, the URI structure is somewhat different.
Example
ftp://username:password@server.domain.com/subdirectory/file.asc
Extract Schema Designer scripts are currently supported as sources only.
Should you find that your network is slow to respond and Map Designer is timing out before you can connect, go into your cosmos.ini file – under the [UserInfo] section – and add the following line (if it is not already there):
NetworkTimeout=5
Note:  The normal default is 5 seconds. If you experience problems connecting, increase the Timeout period to a number greater than 5.
