Connection to FTP server

[ashwini_g_krish]

Hi,

i want to connect Alfresco repository to an FTP server.. can we do that in alfreso?? so that we can take files from that FTP location and store it in alfresco repository folder.

Alfresco can expose its repository via FTP that means you can access the alfresco contents using the ftp client softwares.
I think for your requirment you first need to get some ftp client like filezilla which can connect to FTP server and all you to get the files and then you can transfer it to alfresco via same client
