FTP Server setup in node-red to save scanner no read images

Industrial
1

I am trying to save no read images from a Datalogic scanner to FTP server in node red. I cant seem to connect to the server or if it is even created since it show as idle. I assume i am using the correct node with using ftp server vs ftp in.

any ideas on what i am missing in the setup?

here is the node: ```
node-red-contrib-ftp-server

Please repost the code using the pre-formatted text option otherwise it won't be usable.

You also need to share how you have Node-RED installed/configured - many networking issues are caused by the use of Docker for example.

In my case I am running node-red on a windows machine and the ftp server inside node red here. documentation for the FTP server says to use an available port and i just picked one.

The problem i am having is that the ftp server node just says IDLE and i am not sure if i just need to use a file node to get the images from the ftp node?
