  • Creator to initiate process.
  • FTPCaller to list items.
    • Set username & password in Authentication. FTP link in URL.
  • Parse link to file you need. Something like ftp://download.me.com/file.txt
  • FTPCaller to download item.

This is a bit annoying to do, the response from a request to a directory with the FTPCaller is a file list. 

The file list needs to be split up into features to make subsequent requests for every file. There is a CustomTransformer on the FME hub called S(FTP)-2-Features which looks like has been put together to split up the request into a list of features. I haven’t tested it but I would definitly try that. 

Once you have your list of features then you can pass them into another FTPCaller to download the files.
