FTP Connectors

FTP connectors allow you to transfer files to FTP servers.

Configuration Options​

When setting up an FTP connector, you'll need to provide:

  1. Name - A descriptive name for the connector
  2. Host - The FTP server hostname or IP address
  3. Port - The FTP server port (default: 21)
  4. Username - Your FTP account username
  5. Password - Your FTP account password
  6. Directory - The directory to upload files to
  7. Secure Connection - Toggle to enable FTPS (FTP over SSL/TLS)

Secure FTP​

For enhanced security, you can enable the Secure Connection option:

  • When enabled, the connector will use FTPS (FTP over SSL/TLS)
  • This encrypts both the control and data channels
  • Helps protect sensitive data during transfer

Testing the Connection​

After configuring your FTP connector, you can test it:

  1. Add the connector to the export settings inside a project.
  2. Upload a file to the project.
  3. Hit process and check your FTP server for the file.

Best Practices​

  • Use secure FTP whenever possible
  • Create a dedicated FTP user with appropriate permissions
  • Set up proper directory structure on your FTP server
  • Regularly rotate FTP credentials
