A Node-RED node to FTP Server.

NPM

Pre-requisites

The node-red-contrib-ftp requires Node-RED to be installed.

Install

Run the following command in the root directory of your Node-RED install

npm install node-red-contrib-ftp

Restart your Node-RED instance, the ftp node and sftp node appears in the palette and ready for use.

Usage

node-red-contrib-force contains the following modules.

ftp node

This node will allow you to LIST, GET, PUT, APPEND, DELETE and MKDIR files on a remote FTP server.

The GET, PUT and APPEND options use msg.filename (the path/name of the file on the remote machine) and msg.localFilename (buffer or the path/name of the file on the local machine - i.e. the one running NR).

The DELETE option only specifies msg.filename (the path/name of the file on the remote machine)

The LIST option returns an array of the file/folders in the user's default ftp folder, containing type, name, sticky, rights(an object), acl, owner, group, size and date. Also, returns an array of files/folders in a subfolder by specifying msg.filename (the path of the folder on the remote machine).

The MKDIR option only specifies msg.filename (the directory name on the remote machine).

sftp node

This node will allow you to LIST, GET, PUT, APPEND, DELETE and MKDIR files on a remote SFTP server.

The GET, PUT and APPEND options use msg.filename (the path/name of the file on the remote machine) and msg.localFilename (buffer or the path/name of the file on the local machine - i.e. the one running NR).

The DELETE option only specifies msg.filename (the path/name of the file on the remote machine)

LIST options msg.path (Remote directory path) and msg.pattern (A pattern used to filter the items included in the returned array). Returns an array of listings in the specified sftp directory, containing type, name, size, modifyTime, accessTime, rights(an object), owner and group.

The MKDIR option only specifies msg.filename (the directory name on the remote machine).
