Configure FTP input

FTP input downloads files from a remote directory into the runtime File Connection so a linked Flow can process them.

Setting	Default	Runtime effect
Host / port	Empty / 21	FTP server endpoint.
SSL client type	No SSL	Plain FTP unless explicitly configured for FTPS. Select TLS mode/certificates and prove negotiation/peer identity.
Remote path	Empty	Normalised with web-style delimiters before save.
Transfer type	Binary	Binary or ASCII. Use Binary unless the interface specifically requires FTP text conversion.
Passive	Selected	Uses passive data connection.
Protect data port	Selected	FTPS data-channel protection.
Clear Command Channel (CCC)	Cleared	Clears FTPS control-channel protection after authentication. Enable only for a reviewed server/network requirement.
Control / transfer timeout	15 / 0	FTP control and data-transfer waits. Test zero/units with the deployed library/server.
After receiving	Delete	Delete, leave or move remote source after successful download.
Move-to folder	Empty	Required remote destination when move is selected.
Use LIST	Cleared	Uses the alternative FTP listing behaviour where implemented.

Test listing, masks, partial/locked files, binary byte equality, duplicate names and delete/move permission. Leaving remote files requires an explicit duplicate-prevention rule; deleting before downstream business completion changes recovery. Confirm how download success and Flow failure are reconciled, then use Transport operations.
