How To Get Data From The FTP Server to Salesforce

Salesforce provides various ways to import data from external systems. In addition to using various services, we can also rely on third-party services or create our own custom solution for data retrieval. 

However, importing data from a remote FTP server can be challenging because Salesforce does not support an FTP server to be set as an endpoint in Remote Site Setting so we have to use an external service in this case.

To overcome this challenge, there are multiple options available to us. 

• One way is to use a third-party service that provides FTP functionality. 
• Another way is to develop a custom solution using FTP API. This allows us to establish a secure connection between Salesforce and the remote FTP server, and transfer data in a structured manner.
