Remove FTP Integration​

You can disconnect FTP from Settings.

FTP integration remove button

When FTP is disconnected:

  • FlexiExport deletes the saved FTP connection profile.
  • FTP delivery is removed from existing template configurations.
  • New exports will no longer upload files to FTP until FTP is configured again and enabled again in the template.
  • Files already uploaded to the FTP server are not deleted by FlexiExport.

Path Rules​

Leave the path empty to upload to the server root.

Use / to separate folders, for example:

FlexiExport/Files

Overwrite Behavior​

FTP and SFTP support the Overwrite file checkbox in template storage settings.

When Overwrite file is enabled, FlexiExport overwrites the FTP destination file on each export.

If the generated file name changes, the previously uploaded file for this template is removed.

Security Rules​

FlexiExport validates FTP host values and blocks local or private hosts. Use a public FTP or SFTP endpoint.
