What is FTPGrab?

FTPGrab ⚡ is a CLI tool for pulling files from remote FTP and SFTP servers to your NAS, server, or computer. It is designed for repeatable, unattended transfers: define one or more remote sources, run it on a schedule, filter by name or date, and keep track of what has already been downloaded so later runs only fetch what is new. It can also send notifications when a job completes, fails, or needs attention, which makes it easier to trust scheduled transfers.

It is a good fit for seedboxes, NAS setups, and small automation jobs where files need to move reliably from remote storage to your own machine. FTPGrab is available as a single executable and as a container image.
