How n8n FTP Integration Works

Connect, Configure, and Automate Your File Operations

Technical Architecture Made Simple

n8n's FTP integration provides a robust connection to any standard FTP server with an intuitive, low-code approach:

  • Easy Connection: Simple configuration using server details and credentials
  • Comprehensive Commands: Upload, download, list, delete, and manage directories
  • Workflow Builder: Visual interface for creating complex file processing sequences
  • Trigger Options: Schedule transfers or respond to events in other systems
  • Transformation Capabilities: Process files before or after transfer

The result is seamless automation that bridges your FTP server with databases, cloud storage, email systems, and business applications—creating end-to-end workflows that run without manual intervention.
