STEP 1
Connect FTP and LDAP
Save credentials in WEXTL once. We store them encrypted and reuse the authorization across every workflow [3]. No coding or API skills required.
FTP and LDAP Integration
Combine the built-in FTP node with LDAP on the WEXTL® visual workflow builder. Drop FTP anywhere in your LDAP automation to run its logic between steps — the two live side by side on the same canvas, so you build the whole flow visually without a single line of code.

How to connect FTP to LDAP
Set up your FTP and LDAP integration in 3 simple steps [2] — no coding required. Up to 10 minutes setup.
STEP 2
Build a workflow
Paste selected FTP and LDAP nodes onto the canvas [4], or describe what you want and WEXTL wires the flow together with AI Builder.
STEP 3
Map your data
Choose which fields need to sync between FTP and LDAP. Use filters or leverage a JS custom code step in between — everything is on the canvas.
How does the integration between FTP and LDAP work in WEXTL?
WEXTL exposes actions and triggers for FTP and LDAP that help you connect apps and automate repetitive tasks [1]. A trigger is an event that happens, an action — a step that performs when the event has occurred.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about connecting FTP and LDAP.
Connect your FTP and LDAP accounts once, pick a trigger in one app and an action in the other, then map the fields so data flows automatically between them. [3]
Example: when FTP's "Watch files / folders" fires, WEXTL can "Add an entry" in LDAP. FTP has 1 trigger (including Watch files / folders); LDAP has 6 actions (including Add an entry, Compare an attribute, and Delete an entry). Add filters and transforms between steps when you need them. [1]
Yes — the integration works in both directions. Use each app's triggers to start a workflow and the other app's actions to update it. [2]
No. FTP-to-LDAP automations are built visually on the canvas. You can optionally add custom JavaScript with Functions when you need advanced logic. [4]
Yes. Trigger-based automations start the moment FTP (or LDAP) fires a new event — webhook-backed apps run within seconds, and polling-only apps re-check on a schedule you control. [7]
A first automation typically takes 5–10 minutes: connect each app's credential once, drop a trigger + action onto the canvas, map the fields, and turn the workflow on.
You can build your FTP + LDAP automation on a 3-day trial with every feature unlocked. Cancel anytime. For your protection, a small deposit is charged to your card when your trial starts. It counts toward your first payment and is non-refundable. [8]
