You can try this powershell scripts to coonect to FTP server and then you can download the files:
#FTP Server Information - SET VARIABLES
$ftp = "ftp://XXX.com/"
$user = 'UserName'
$pass = 'Password'
$folder = 'FTP_Folder'
$target = "C:\Folder\Folder1\"
#SET CREDENTIALS
$credentials = new-object System.Net.NetworkCredential($user, $pass)
function Get-FtpDir ($url,$credentials) {
$request = [Net.WebRequest]::Create($url)
$request.Method = [System.Net.WebRequestMethods+FTP]::ListDirectory
if ($credentials) { $request.Credentials = $credentials }
$response = $request.GetResponse()
$reader = New-Object IO.StreamReader $response.GetResponseStream()
while(-not $reader.EndOfStream) {
$reader.ReadLine()
}
#$reader.ReadToEnd()
$reader.Close()
$response.Close()
}
#SET FOLDER PATH
$folderPath= $ftp + "/" + $folder + "/"
$files = Get-FTPDir -url $folderPath -credentials $credentials
$files
$webclient = New-Object System.Net.WebClient
$webclient.Credentials = New-Object System.Net.NetworkCredential($user,$pass)
$counter = 0
foreach ($file in ($files | where {$_ -like "*.txt"})){
$source=$folderPath + $file
$destination = $target + $file
$webclient.DownloadFile($source, $target+$file)
#PRINT FILE NAME AND COUNTER
$counter++
$counter
$source
}
After that, you can publish those files to the Artifacts by PublishBuildArtifacts.
Hope this helps.
