FTP Connection
===============

The FTP connection type enables the FTP Integrations.

Authenticating to FTP
-----------------------

Authenticate to FTP using `ftplib
<https://docs.python.org/3/library/ftplib.html>`_.
i.e. indicate ``user``, ``password``, ``host``

Default Connection IDs
----------------------

Hooks, operators, and sensors related to FTP use ``ftp_default`` by default.

Configuring the Connection
--------------------------

Login
    Specify the ftp ``user`` value.

Password
    Specify the ftp ``passwd`` value.

Host (optional)
    Specify the Hostname or IP of the remote machine.

Extra (optional)
    Specify the extra parameters (as json dictionary) that can be used in ftp connection.
    The following parameters are all optional:

    * ``passive``: Enable “passive” mode if val is true, otherwise disable passive mode.
      Passive mode is on by default.

When specifying the connection in environment variable you should specify
it using URI syntax.

Note that all components of the URI should be URL-encoded.

Example connection string:

.. code-block:: bash

   export AIRFLOW_CONN_FTP_DEFAULT='ftp://user:pass@localhost?passive=false'
