What can you do with the FTP Client connector?
A lot of business data still moves as files: nightly ERP exports, partner price lists, bank statements, payroll files. The FTP Client lists, uploads, downloads, moves and deletes files on FTP and SFTP servers, so a file that lands on a server can start a workflow, and a workflow can drop its output where a partner expects it. On SFTP it can also check whether a file exists and upload several files at once, and you can sign in with an SSH key instead of a password.

Automate & integrate FTP Client
Automating FTP Client business processes or integrating FTP Client data is made easy with Tray.ai.
Use case
Pick up partner files on a schedule
Check a partner's SFTP folder on a schedule, download new files and pass their contents to the next step: orders into your ERP, a price list into your product catalog. Move each file to an archive folder once it's processed, so nothing is loaded twice.
- No manual downloads
- Processed files archived automatically
- Works with any SFTP partner
Use case
Deliver reports and exports
Build a report or export in a workflow, then upload it to the folder a bank, payroll provider or customer reads from. On SFTP, one step can upload several files.
- Scheduled delivery without scripts
- Several files in one step
- One workflow builds and sends
Use case
Check a file arrived before acting
Use SFTP check file exists, with a full or partial file name, to confirm an expected file is there before a downstream job runs, and alert the team if it isn't.
- Catch missing files early
- Match on partial names
- Alert the right team

Challenges Tray.ai solves
Common obstacles when integrating FTP Client — and how Tray.ai handles them.
Challenge
Keeping server credentials out of workflows
File servers often share one login across scripts, and the password ends up in config files.
How Tray.ai helps
The FTP Client keeps the host, port, username and password, or a private SSH key, in a Tray authentication that workflows reference without exposing it. Tray recommends SFTP with SSH keys as the more secure setup.
Challenge
Vague errors from strict servers
Some servers refuse file names they don't allow and return only "Access Denied", with no other detail.
How Tray.ai helps
Check the server's file naming rules when an upload is refused, and use workflow error handling to send a failed upload to someone who can fix it.
How Tray.ai makes this work
FTP Client plugs into the whole Tray.ai platform
