I want to be able to write directly to a local folder in my nodered server through FTP protocol.  
Is this possible? If so, I hope someone can guide me how.  
Our nodered server is hosted in Azure.

though ftp is not considered very secure these days so I wouldn't recommend it for something exposed to the internet.

I saw that palette node-red-contrib-ftp-server  
Will it just save the files to the root folder of the nodered server?
