SFTP client connection with server

[JLG_War]

I have an SFTP server running on a controller connected to the CtrlX. This server has a file that I want to read in the CtrlX with a python script. I want to create a SFTP client with node-red and store the file somewhere on the core preferable on the sd card. After the file is stored on the core I want to use a python script to read this file and depending on the content of the file do something with it. Is this is possible? I know the FTP topic is discussed multiple times on this forum but I couldn't found a clear answer so that's why I'm posting this. 

Thanks in advance.

Hi JLG_War,

there are several modules/paletts for Node-RED available doing an sftp connection, if one of them suits for you you can download the file.
See attached screenshot.

How to store it from Node-RED into the micro SD card you can find in this article:Solved: Re: Save a file created in Node Red on to CtrlX CO... (boschrexroth.com)
