Use an FTP server inside a Spell

You can connect to an FTP server inside your Spell using the ftp-server dependencies.

To add this dependency, click on Dependencies on the Spell editor and add basic-ftp package:

You can also activate the fs NodeJS API if you want to read and write files inside your /tmp folder.

info

You must use the /tmp folder to write and read files inside your Spell.

You have 512MB of storage per Spell and this storage is not persistent (all files are destroyed at the end).

If you want to store larger and persistent files, we recommend you to use File Storage APIs (like AWS S3)

Here is a code example to use basic-ftp inside a Spell:

const client = new basic_ftp.Client();
try {
    await client.access({
        host: "",
        user: 'user',
        password: 'password',
        secure: true
    });
    console.log(await client.list());
    console.log(await client.downloadTo("/tmp/foo.txt", "foo.txt"));
    try {
        const data = fs.readFileSync('./foo.txt', 'utf8');
        console.log(data);
    } catch (err) {
        console.error(err);
    }
} catch (err) {
    console.log(err.message);
} finally {
    client.close();
}

Don't forget to close properly the FTP connection before the end of Spell
