Node-RED FTP/SFTP Client

node-red-contrib-ftp is a Node-RED package providing nodes for interacting with FTP and SFTP servers. It enables Node-RED flows to perform various file operations such as listing, getting, putting, appending, deleting, and creating directories on remote servers. The package includes an 'ftp in' node for standard FTP operations and an 'sftp in' node for secure file transfer via SFTP. As of version 0.0.8, it integrates directly into the Node-RED editor palette, offering a visual way to manage file transfers. Node-RED contrib packages typically follow the Node-RED release cycle, but individual package updates vary. Key differentiators include its tight integration with Node-RED's flow-based programming model, allowing for easy automation of file transfer tasks within larger workflows without writing custom code.
