ftp node allows you to modify 'filename' and 'localfilename' passing those variables over msg object:
msg.filename
msg.localfilename
but I cannot find the way to pass the ftp credentials (host, port, user, password).
I am creating a flow that sends images to same ftp server but with different user and password.
Could you please help me? I am blocked. Thank you.

Welcome to the forum @morafelip
Many have had difficulties with ftp nodes and the usual suggestion is to use an Exec node and call the system ftp commands to do it. That would also allow you to specify the user/password.
