Reaches out to a server over FTP, HTTP, or HTTPS and grabs files whose names you specify. Perfect for news feeds, weather audio, syndicated content, or any regularly-updated file at a known address.
| Field | What to put here |
|---|---|
| Protocol | FTP, HTTP, or HTTPS. When in doubt, try HTTPS first. |
| Address | Server address without the protocol prefix — e.g. ftp.newsservice.com |
| Directory | Folder path on the server, e.g. /audio/daily. Leave blank for root. |
| Username | Your login name, if required. |
| Password | Your password, if required. |
| Port | Leave blank for defaults (21/FTP, 80/HTTP, 443/HTTPS). |
| Date Offset | -1 for yesterday, 1 for tomorrow, blank for today. |
| Filter | Just This Specific File, Filenames Containing, or Every File. |
| Allow Insecure SSL | Bypass certificate verification. Only use if you trust the server. |
| Recursive | Also look inside subdirectories. |
| Extension Filter | Only grab files with a specific extension, e.g. mp3. |
Tip: Not sure what the filename is? Log into the server with a browser or FTP client and look at what's actually there. Then match it exactly.
