Download Files from FTP

This task will export a file from a remote FTP server to the local PC or networked drive.

Settings

FTP Connection

Required
The FTP Connection to deleteĀ from. See the Connecting to FTP Server article for more information on how to create/manage connections.

Directory

Required
Initial Directory to move to on FTP Server e.g. /webdata. It is important that you use the 'Text or script' data type instead of 'Folder, HTTP or FTP location' for this setting. This will prevent Zynk treating it as a relative path and converting it to an absolute path on the local file system.

Filename

Required
Name of file to be exported e.g. web_orders.xml. It is important that you use the 'Text or script' data type instead of 'File' for this setting. This will prevent Zynk treating it as a relative path and converting it to an absolute path on the local file system.
