FTP as data source
Hi everyone!
I tried to connect ftp service as data source but I can't.
I read if connect ftp you should choose get data-> folder. But it doesn't accept ftp as folder. On website somebody said "add a network location this ftp address." I did that but nothing change. So need help!!
One more question,
If I successed to connect ftp, schedule refresh run or not?
Thanks guys.
Hi BirhanAYDS,
YES, current folder connector not works for remote servers or FTP servers.
Perhaps you can consider creating a local folder that mapping to the remote server then you can use the folder connector to get data that folder:Regards,

Hi, i'm not sure about this folder situtation. I can tell that if you add the ftp address of a single file in the web connector, it will read it. You can use Web.Contents for single files.
Hope this helps,
