Create a list of files and directories located in a directory on a remote FTP, SFTP, WebDAV, Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, and DigitalOcean Spaces server. Advanced filtering and sorting options allow to tailor file lists for particular needs.
The list may include all files and folders or a subset of files and folders based on their name (mask), extension, modified date, attributes or access right. The list can be sorted alphabetically or according to type, size, date or other criteria.
The created remote file list is available for the following Actions using Variable Wizard. It is possible to save the list to file with Write to File, email it with Send Email Action or use the remote file list to further automate any other Action.
| Files | Details |
|---|---|
| Remote directory | The path of remote directory whose contents will be listed. |
| Include mask | Use file mask to choose names and types of files to include in the list (by default *.* includes all files and folders) · Learn file masks and wildcards & advanced SFTP wildcards |
| Use connection | Select an existing connection to use for file listing. If there are no defined connections, the new connection window will be opened to establish a connection to FTP, SFTP, WebDAV, Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, or DigitalOcean Spaces server. |
| Variable Wizard |  Use dynamic data input—substitute a parameter from a file, web, connected Trigger, other Actions, date and time presets, etc. |
