Automated FTP File Upload and Directory Listing Process
This workflow automates the FTP file upload and directory management process. After being manually triggered by the user, the system automatically downloads files from a specified URL and uploads them to a designated directory on the FTP server. Once the upload is complete, the system lists all the files in the FTP directory, ensuring that users can monitor the file status in real-time. This process simplifies file transfer operations, reduces human error, and improves work efficiency, making it suitable for operations personnel and development teams that need to regularly update and manage FTP files.

Automated FTP File Upload and Directory Listing Process
Key Features and Highlights
This workflow is initiated manually and automatically downloads files from a specified URL (e.g., the n8n official website logo). It then uploads the downloaded files to a designated directory on an FTP server and finally lists all files in the FTP directory. This enables automated file transfer and management. The highlight lies in integrating HTTP file download with FTP file operations, streamlining the file upload process and enhancing operational efficiency.
Core Problems Addressed
It solves the cumbersome manual process of downloading files from the internet and uploading them to an FTP server, eliminating repetitive tasks and human errors. This achieves automated file transfer and real-time directory monitoring.
Use Cases
- Websites or applications that require regular updates of resource files on the server
- Automated backup of online resources to an FTP server
- Scenarios requiring remote management and viewing of FTP server file listings
- Enterprises or development teams needing automated synchronization of files to an FTP server
Main Workflow Steps
- Manually trigger the workflow start
- Automatically download a file from a specified URL via an HTTP request node (e.g., an image)
- Upload the downloaded file to a designated directory on the FTP server
- After upload completion, list all files in the FTP directory to verify upload status
Involved Systems or Services
- HTTP request service (for file downloading)
- FTP server (for file uploading and directory operations)
Target Users and Value
Ideal for operations personnel, developers, and enterprise IT teams who require automated file transfer and management. This workflow helps reduce manual upload and download efforts, improve file management efficiency, and ensure real-time updates and visibility of files on the FTP server.
Monitor_security_advisories
This workflow automates the collection, filtering, and notification of security announcements. It regularly retrieves the latest security bulletins from Palo Alto Networks and intelligently filters information relevant to the organization's key products. By automatically creating tickets in Jira, it ensures that the security team can follow up in a timely manner.

Zip Multiple Files
This workflow can automatically package and compress multiple different types of files (such as images, PDFs, Excel files, CSVs, etc.) into a single ZIP file, simplifying the management and transfer of multiple files. Its modular design enhances the efficiency of batch file processing, making it suitable for scenarios such as file uploads, email sending, and data backup, particularly for businesses or individual users who need to quickly organize and archive files. This solution effectively reduces the complexity of manual operations and improves work efficiency.
Backup n8n Credentials to GitHub
This workflow primarily implements automatic backup of all credentials to a GitHub repository, with files named according to the workflow ID and saved in JSON format. It supports scheduled execution and manual triggering, and can automatically compare the differences in backup files to ensure updates only occur when changes are detected, thereby reducing storage space and redundant commits. By processing each credential data in a loop, it optimizes memory usage. This workflow provides users with secure and reliable credential management and version control, enhancing backup efficiency and reducing manual operations.
Scheduled Monitoring of Elasticsearch Alerts with Automatic Azure DevOps Work Item Creation
This workflow automatically queries alarm data in Elasticsearch at scheduled times every day, intelligently determining whether there are any alarm messages. When an alarm is detected, it automatically creates the corresponding task ticket in Azure DevOps, thereby improving the response speed and processing efficiency of alarms. Through this automated process, the team can promptly track and manage potential issues, avoiding the inefficiencies of manual queries and task creation, ensuring that each alarm is effectively addressed and enhancing overall work efficiency.
PRISM Elastic Alert Email Notification Automation Workflow
This workflow automatically retrieves alarm data from the PRISM Elastic API and sends formatted email notifications to designated users via the Microsoft Graph API. Triggered on a schedule without manual intervention, it ensures timely responses and prevents the omission of important alarm information. The email content includes the alarm name, severity level, and detailed information, helping IT operations and security teams improve efficiency, quickly address abnormal events, and build an intelligent monitoring system.
Get DNS entries
This workflow is designed to automatically retrieve DNS records for a specified domain name. Users only need to manually trigger it to quickly generate domain information and call external API interfaces to obtain complete DNS entries. By integrating the query process, it significantly enhances work efficiency and reduces the complexity of manual operations. It is suitable for professionals such as IT operations personnel, network administrators, and developers, helping them quickly understand and monitor the DNS configuration of domains.
