Today we will learn how to download and upload files using a VBA FTP script. FTP is a great way to keep your Excel files connected to your file servers, back up your files and worksheets automatically or simply download/upload document without any additional manual hassle.
Here is the macro that loops through all the file paths that are contained in column 'B' of the sheet 'Paths' and converts the PDF files to a different file type. The macro ExportAllPDFs uses the SavePDFAsOtherFormatNoMsg macro, which is similar to SavePDFAsOtherFormat macro, but, without the message boxes. If you try to save a workbook with macros as a.xlsx, Excel will warn you about the macros, but give you the following option: 'To continue saving as a macro free workbook, click Yes'. The code will stay in the workbook while it is still open, but once you close it and re-open the.xlsx version, the macros will be gone.
VBA FTP Download Files
Let us start with learning how to Download Files from FTP using VBA FTP. The below code defines the procedure FtpDownload which does just that:
Syntax
strRemoteFile
A string path to the file on the remote FTP drive which you want to download e.g. '//home/user/text file.txt'
strLocalFile
A string path to the file on the local drive which you want to save the remote file to e.g. 'C:text file.txt'
strHost
A string with the FTP server name e.g. '192.168.0.100' or 'myserver.example.com'.
lngPort
A number specifying the FTP port. 21 by default.
strUser
A string with the FTP user name.

Summary and alternatives
Downloading and Uploading files to an FTP server is a very useful task. Although there are several things to remember…
Do not keep your password directly in your Workbook. Your password should be stored in a secure way and there is always a chance you might share your Excel Workbook without deleting the embedded password. A good tip is to save the password in a separate text file on your local drive to which no one else has access. See Reading Files in VBA to do this.
Do you use FTP for file versioning? Use SVN or a dedicated solution instead! Although saving and versioning files to FTP is one way to go don't rely on custom basic solution to long known problems. Setup SVN on your server of use a dedicated service like OneDrive, DropBox of Google Drive.
Do you want to download files from web servers / pages not from FTP? See this post on Downloading Files using VBA. Workflow ipa download.
