Hey @Donna!

To access an FTP server you’ll want to create a custom Python node and use Python’s built-in ftplib library. The Run Code node isn’t recommended here since it would expose your FTP credentials inside the pipeline.

Suggested Node Configuration Parameters

  • Host (string): FTP server address

  • Port (number): FTP port

  • Username (string): FTP username

  • Password (string): Ideally hard-code this inside the node’s code so it isn’t exposed

  • Remote Path (string): Directory or file path you want to read from the server

From there, your custom node can handle connecting, navigating directories, and fetching files.

Hope this helps!
