t FTP and FTPS

Available triggers

The FTP component provides access to remote file systems via FTP and SFTP protocols.

NOTE
FTPS is a secure version of FTP that adds SSL/TLS support to encrypt the connection.

URI Syntax: ftp:host:port/directoryName

Main fields

Path parameters

Name	Description	Default	Type
`host` (common)	(required) Hostname of the FTP server.	—	String
`port` (common)	Port of the FTP server.	—	int
`directoryName` (common)	Starting directory.	—	String

Query parameters

Name	Description	Default	Type
`fileName` (common)	Used to dynamically set the file name as an expression. For consumers, it serves as a name filter; for producers, to evaluate the file name to write.	—	String
`password` (security)	Password used for authentication on the FTP server.	—	String
`username` (security)	Username used for authentication on the FTP server.	—	String
`delay` (scheduler)	Time in milliseconds before the next check/poll to consume files.	500	long
`passiveMode` (common)	Sets connections to passive mode.	false	boolean
`includeExt` (filter)	Used to include files matching the file extension name (case-insensitive). For example, to include `.txt` files, use `includeExt=txt`. Multiple extensions can be separated by commas; for example, to include `.txt` and `.xml` files, use `includeExt=txt,xml`.	—	String

Example

The flow connects to an FTP server and downloads text files.

The parameters indicate the credentials used for authentication (username and password) and that the text should filter and include only files with the .txt extension.

The flow includes a 10-second delay between download attempts and operates in passive mode.

IMPORTANT
Check whether the FTP server operates in Active Mode or Passive Mode. "Read timeout" errors or file reading failures may occur if the mode is not configured correctly. The passiveMode=true parameter should be included when the server works in passive mode. For more details about the differences between modes, see Active Vs. Passive FTP Simplified.

Then, it logs the content of these files.

NOTE
In this example, files are not removed after processing because the demo server used is read-only.
