What it is and what it does
This is an Apache Airflow provider package that adds FTP (File Transfer Protocol) capabilities to Airflow workflows. It allows you to define tasks that connect to and interact with FTP servers as part of your data pipelines, enabling file transfers and FTP operations to be orchestrated alongside other Airflow tasks.
The package is maintained as part of the official Apache Airflow ecosystem and integrates with Airflow's task scheduling and monitoring infrastructure. It depends on apache-airflow and apache-airflow-providers-common-compat, and optionally supports openlineage for data lineage tracking. The package is actively maintained, supports current Python versions (3.10 through 3.14), and carries no known security vulnerabilities.
Use it for
- Schedule automated file downloads or uploads to FTP servers as part of data ingestion pipelines
- Monitor and transfer files from FTP sources on a regular cadence within Airflow DAGs
- Integrate FTP file operations with other data processing tasks in orchestrated workflows
- Build multi-step pipelines where FTP transfers are one step among many orchestrated tasks
