Transfer Files from FTP Server to Google Drive

This workflow seamlessly transfers files from an FTP server to Google Drive, ideal for backing up remote server content, migrating data to cloud storage, automating synchronization, or scheduling backups. It scans FTP directories, filters for files only, downloads them as binary data, and uploads to a specified Google Drive folder.

The process starts with a manual trigger, lists the FTP directory contents, filters out directories to focus on files, downloads each file, and finally uploads them to Google Drive. This ensures efficient handling without manual intervention, reducing errors and saving time on repetitive file management.

Key benefits include reliable automation for IT admins and businesses relying on FTP for legacy systems, secure cloud migration, and effortless backups. Use cases span data archiving, content synchronization across platforms, and routine server maintenance, making it valuable for productivity in file management.

Setup requires FTP credentials (host, port, username, password) and Google Drive OAuth2 authentication in n8n. Configure paths and credentials, then execute for instant transfers.
