Put Files Via FTP

Description

Put Files Via FTP uploads one or more local files to a remote server using the standard FTP protocol. Use this step when your workflow generates output files — such as reports, exports, or data extracts — that need to be delivered to an FTP server. It supports wildcard filtering to select specific files from a local directory, optional removal of source files after transfer, and the ability to create the remote destination folder if it does not already exist. Advanced options include binary transfer mode, active or passive connection modes, and configurable character encoding.
