# Download a file from FTP Server — FTP

Botize method — `btzftp.download` (action).

Downloads a specific file (max 5MB) from your FTP server and returns a temporary download URL.

This is an action: it runs as a step of a task. Several can be chained.

## Fields you set

The field's internal name, its type and the values it accepts. These fields accept `{{...}}` tags from earlier steps.

- `file` *(string)* — File to download (full path)

## Output variables

Data this step makes available. Reference them in later steps with the double-brace tag.

- `{{file_url}}` *(url)* — Download URL
- `{{name}}` *(text)* — File name
- `{{size}}` *(int)* — File size
- `{{content_type}}` *(text)* — Content type
- `{{_status}}` *(text)* — _status
