If I recall correctly if you want to search for a given file then this plug-in allows you to perform a 'dir' in the remote directory which will return a list of files and directories, and then you can write an Appian expression to search the list locally, and then once you've found the file(s) you want to perform a 'get' on you can then 'receive' the file(s).

I tried it , but is there any documentation, to configure inputs for ftp using that plugin. It had some inputs like external key which was a mandatory field.

Even then, is it possible to search files using extensions and the retrieve them.
