Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main operations available in the n8n FTP node?

The FTP node allows you to perform standard file management operations like listing directories, downloading, uploading, deleting, and renaming files. It acts as a powerful data manipulation node for file-based Integrations within your workflows.

Can the FTP node start a workflow automatically?

Yes, the FTP node can function as a trigger. You can set it up to monitor an FTP directory for new file uploads or deletions, initiating automated workflows and Integrations when specific events occur.

Does the n8n FTP node support secure connections?

Absolutely. While it supports standard FTP, we strongly recommend using secure protocols like SFTP or FTPS for sensitive data Integrations. These connection details are configured when setting up the node credentials.

How do I upload data generated earlier in my workflow to an FTP server?

You use the FTP node in an execution step after a preceding node has generated the file or binary data. The FTP node handles the secure upload, completing the data flow in your automated Integrations.

How does the FTP node integrate with other n8n services?

The FTP node is essential for file-based Integrations. For example, a workflow can be triggered by a new file arrival, processed by a transformation node, and then passed to a cloud service node for storage.
