Automated FTP File Migration with Smart Cleanup & Notifications

This n8n workflow provides enterprise-grade automation for transferring files between FTP servers. It runs on a configurable schedule (daily, hourly, etc.), discovers files on the source FTP, applies regex-based filtering by type, size, date, or name, downloads them securely, uploads to the destination, validates integrity, and cleans up the source only after success. Comprehensive error handling with retries and exponential backoff ensures reliability.

Key benefits include complete audit logging with timestamps, dual notifications for success/errors via email and webhook, and production-ready safety measures. It saves hours of manual work, reduces human error in data migrations, and maintains sync across servers.

Ideal use cases: enterprise data center migrations, automated backups to secondary storage, multi-site file synchronization, legacy system integrations, and business document management like contracts and reports. Perfect for IT operations and business continuity.
