node-red-contrib-elevate-advanced-ftp

A Node-RED node for advanced FTP operations, with extended runtime control and logging capabilities.

🛠️ Forked and maintained by Elevate IT, based on the original work by anversoft.

✨ What's New in This Fork?

This fork introduces a new operation:

✅ PUTRENAME

A convenient one-step action that first uploads a file (PUT) and immediately renames it on the server (RENAME). This is especially useful for workflows where you want to avoid processing partially uploaded files on the server.

📦 Installation

Using npm:

Run the following in your Node-RED user directory (usually ~/.node-red):

npm install node-red-contrib-elevate-advanced-ftp

Then restart Node-RED.

Using the Node-RED Palette:

• Open Node-RED
• Go to Menu → Manage palette → Install
• Search for node-red-contrib-elevate-advanced-ftp and install

⚙️ Usage

The node supports a variety of FTP operations. These can be set either statically in the editor or dynamically at runtime via msg.operation.

Supported operations:

• status
• pwd
• system
• list
• get
• put
• append
• rename
• delete
• mkdir
• rmdir
• ✅ putrename ← New!

You can modify paths, filenames, and other parameters dynamically via msg properties.

🧪 Example Flow

Here's an example of how to use the FTP Client node to perform different FTP operations dynamically:
