Code snippet to upload files to FTP server using Node.js

upload-to-ftp.js

const Ftp = require( 'ftp' );

const ftpClient = new Ftp();

ftpClient.on( 'ready', function() {
	ftpClient.put( './prueba.jpg', '/www/img/prueba.jpg', function( err, list ) {
		if ( err ) throw err;
		ftpClient.end();
	} );
} );

ftpClient.connect( {
	'host': '*****************',
	'user': '***************',
	'password': '**************'
} );

I have just tried it and it works, have you substituted the asterisks in the connect function for the correct values? Your server's URL, your user and password? Do you have a prueba.jpg file that the script can find?

Worked great. Thanks for this handy snippet. 👋🏼

Helped a lot thank you!

is there a way to make this work with esm 6 import sintax? because when i adapt it it shows an error that i can usea a constructor with ftpClient

is there a way to make this work with esm 6 import sintax? because when i adapt it it shows an error that i can usea a constructor with ftpClient

hay alguna forma de hacerlo andar con ems 6? porque cuando lo adapto (import * as Ftp from "ftp") me da un error de que ftpClient no es un constructor

Error: Cannot find module 'ftp'.
Is FTP not standard in nodejs?
I learned now, Node.js does not come with a built-in FTP module as part of its standard library.
Where do I find a third-party FTP modules?
I installed with "npm install basic-ftp"

Hi @lindalima,
The library is the one called ftp. The one you got ("basic-ftp") probably doesn't use the same syntax as this snippet.
