It would be great to have an FTP node to support the upload of workflow data to legacy systems that don’t provide API endpoints.

Hi @paul_wareham,

I think this is related to this post:

Here are some options I can think of: Cloud Functions: All of the cloud vendors (Google Cloud, AWS, Azure) support the ability to write serverless functions. This would allow you to create a small function that’s triggered by the workflow engine to communicate with FTP. Roll your own API: Because you can trigger any arbitrary HTTP endpoint in the Workflow Engine, you can create your o…

But, for now, I’ll create this feature ticket for you and let you know if it gets released 🙂

I added this note in the thread linked to above, but for anybody who comes across this …

We just released the [FTP: Get](https://docs.losant.com/workflows/data/ftp-get/) and [FTP: Put Nodes](https://docs.losant.com/workflows/data/ftp-put/), which support establishing a connection through SFTP, FTPS, or FTP.

The nodes are available both in our cloud platform and in [Edge Workflows](https://docs.losant.com/workflows/edge-workflows/).

The node does not support append. If the file exists, it will be overwritten. I’ll make a ticket to investigate supporting the FTP append command.
