Strapi 4 FTP Provider

Strapi 4 FTP Provider is a plugin that allows you to upload files to an FTP server.

Installation

This plugin can be installed with the following command:

``bash
yarn add strapi4-ftp-provider
`
or
`bash
npm i strapi4-ftp-provider
`

Usage

After installing the plugin, you need to create a plugins.js file in the config directory if it doesn't already exist. This file should contain the following information:

`javascript
module.exports = ({ env }) => ({
upload: {
config: {
provider: "strapi4-ftp-provider",
providerOptions: {
host: env("FTP_HOST"),
port: env("FTP_PORT"),
user: env("FTP_USER"),
password: env("FTP_PASSWORD"),
secure: env.bool("FTP_SECURE", false),
path: env("FTP_BASE_PATH"),
baseUrl: env("FTP_BASE_URL"),
},
},
},
});
`

You will also need to create a .env file with the following information (replace the values with your own FTP credentials):
`makefile
FTP_HOST=ftp.example.com
FTP_PORT=21
FTP_USER=username
FTP_PASSWORD=password
FTP_BASE_URL=/uploads/
FTP_BASE_PATH=/path/to/strapi/installation/uploads
`
Note that FTP_BASE_URL is the URL where your files will be publicly accessible, and FTP_BASE_PATH is the absolute path to the directory where your files will be uploaded on the server. Replace /path/to/strapi/installation` with the actual path to your Strapi installation.

Maximum file size

Please note that you may need to adjust the maximum file size that can be uploaded. This can be done in the Strapi documentation: plugins/upload#max-file-size


It is also possible that the file size limit is determined by the configuration of your Nginx server: Increase-upload-limit-nginx

Testing

This plugin has been tested with Strapi v4.8.2 and Node.js v18.14.1.
