This template runs on the cadence you set, extracts files from the SFTP path you choose, and uploads each file to a Google Drive folder.
Use it to copy exports, invoices, or other host files into Drive without downloading by hand. Connect SFTP and Google Drive. Put host, user, and password on the SFTP connection. If the host speaks FTP only, download in JavaScript and keep those credentials in that JavaScript node.
Latenode bills workflow runtime in CPU seconds. The first 10,000 CPU seconds are free each month, then usage follows pay-as-you-go CPU-second pricing. Plug-and-Play (PnP) AI nodes are billed separately—each PnP token is $1 USD, charged pay-as-you-go at vendor cost plus a small processing fee, with no API keys required.

The scenario starts on the cadence you set, such as every night.
SFTP extracts the file from the remote path. Put host, user, and password on the SFTP connection. If the host is FTP only, download in JavaScript and keep those credentials in that node.
Google Drive writes the file into the backup folder you choose.
Add an SFTP connection. Put host, user, and password there, and set the remote path of the file or folder to copy.
Add a Google Drive connection with write access to the folder that should hold the backup.
Add a schedule, for example every night. Extract the SFTP file, then upload it to Drive. Keep the original filename unless you want a dated copy. Run once and confirm Drive shows the file.
