Upload Data

Text

Yes

The contents of the file to write. It is recommended to enter a template expression that evaluates to a string (such as the output from the Convert to CSV action). If an object (such as an array or JSON object) is passed in, it will be converted to a string first.

Server Name/IP

Text

No

The hostname or IP address of the server to connect to. If a hostname is used, the hostname must be resolvable via public DNS.

Port

Number

No

The port number. The default FTP port is 21, if you are unsure, use that.

Username

Text

No

The username to authenticate with.

Password

Text

No

The password to authenticate with.

File Path

Text

Yes

The path of the file to write. Depends on server requirements. Some servers require an absolute path that starts with “/”, others accept relative paths or just filenames.

Tip! Use a template expression to create a date-based or unique filename.

Enable FTPS

Checkbox

No

Whether or not to connect via FTPS (different from SFTP).

Use Passive Mode

Checkbox

No

Whether or not to transfer the data using FTP Passive Mode. Check with the server host to see if this is required by the server.

Overwrite Existing Files

Checkbox

No

Whether or not to overwrite a file if one by the same name already exists. May fail depending on the permissions set up on the FTP server.
