UiPath FTP Activities

The FTP Activities pack enables the user to connect to a File Transfer Protocol server and perform all the fundamental actions within it.

Introduction to the FTP Activities Pack

The FTP Activities pack empowers users to seamlessly connect to a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server and execute essential operations, encompassing searching, downloading, uploading, deleting, and creating files and directories.

FTP Scope Activity

The FTP Scope activity serves as a container facilitating user connection to an FTP server. Within this scope, users can execute multiple actions before efficiently disconnecting from the server. Notably, the connection details can be stored in an FtpSessionGen variable, ensuring a unique identifier for each connected FTP server. This variable remains reusable, allowing users to establish connections as frequently as needed.
