FTP & SFTP connections within Servoy. Deprecated. Please use the Cloud Storage Plugin for FTP/SFTP functionality.
As encryption technologies have changed, SFTP has become more difficult to support and the libraries that this plugin is based on are not able to support these changes.

We published our API Specifications for the FTP Plug-in as a future and current reference.
After downloading the FTP Plug-in using our Components Manager a sample solution {servoy_root}/solutions/it2be-examples/it2be-ftp.servoy is installed.
You can import the sample solution into Servoy Developer and you will have some (basic) code examples of how to use the FTP Plug-in.
We have made the source of the FTP Plug-in available on ServoForge .
You can download the source here .
Everybody is free to check the source out, use it and change it as long as you give us credit and leave all copyright notices intact including those of third parties.
