    No it just doesn't want to do the ftp. But I found a workaround :

     

    I added this script and it works:

     

    // Get the test step objects
    def tsFTP1 = testRunner.testCase.getTestStepByName("03_FTP_file1")
    def tsFTP2 = testRunner.testCase.getTestStepByName("04_FTP_file2")
    def tsFTP3 = testRunner.testCase.getTestStepByName("05_FTP_file3")
    def tsFTP4 = testRunner.testCase.getTestStepByName("06_FTP_file4")
    def tsFTP5 = testRunner.testCase.getTestStepByName("07_FTP_file5")

    //Get the port number
    def tmpFtpPort = context.expand( '${#TestSuite#tmpFtpPort}' )

    // Set the ports
    tsFTP1.setPort(tmpFtpPort)
    tsFTP2.setPort(tmpFtpPort)
    tsFTP3.setPort(tmpFtpPort)
    tsFTP4.setPort(tmpFtpPort)
    tsFTP5.setPort(tmpFtpPort)

Thanks for posting your work around of doing the property transfer via a Groovy script, hopefully that will help others.

 

Though I must admit this feels like a Ready API bug. Rather unhelpfully the FTP Test Step documentation states "Some fields of the editor allow you to use Property Expansions." (my emphasis), but doesn't say which ones!

 

I would of assumed that if you weren't able to use a property expansion then it would only allow you to enter an integer value via the test step editor. It may be worth raising this as a SmartBear support case:

Get the official answer on if you should be able to use a property expansion.
