Connecting to FTP

Importing files from FTP

You can use your FTP server as a source for your CSV files. All you have to do is select the FTP tab on the source file chooser.

NOTES: dataloader.io DOES NOT support FTP over TLS/SSL (FTPS). If you need a secure FTP connection, dataloader.io Enterprise subscription supports SFTP
Additionally notice that only Passive mode is supported and Permission for LIST command is required.
 
If you're accessing an FTP or SFTP directory that is behind a firewall, make sure to open your ports to dataloader.io's IPs.

Start out by creating a new Import Task as you ordinarily do.

Complete the first step selecting the Salesforce connection as usual, then refer back to this page when you get to the second window, labeled "upload".

1. If you  haven't added an FTP account yet, click on the plus icon on the right

2. Enter your FTP account credentials and Save
