Send SharePoint documents to any FTP server automatically
DocEvent checks a SharePoint document library on a schedule and pushes each new file to any FTP or FTPS server. Staff keep working in Microsoft 365; the file arrives on the FTP server without anyone downloading and re-uploading it.

How SharePoint to FTP routing works

SharePoint

DocEvent Channel
routes · retries · logs
Destination
FTP Server
Files are pushed to any FTP server you configure.
1
File arrives via SharePoint
Scheduled polling of a Microsoft 365 SharePoint document library through the Microsoft Graph API. Connect your Microsoft account once from the console — the connection is reusable across endpoints and no secret is stored on the endpoint itself — then choose the site, library and folder. Filename pattern filtering and completed-file detection, then each collected file is deleted or moved to an archive folder.
2
Channel routes it
DocEvent's channel server matches the incoming file to your configured route, queues it for delivery, and ensures no file is ever lost — even during downstream outages.
3
Delivered to FTP
Active and passive FTP supported. Username/password authentication. Configurable port and path.
Common use cases
Real workflows that teams automate with a SharePoint → FTP channel.
- Publish files from a SharePoint library to a partner FTP drop zone
- Let staff deliver documents by saving them into SharePoint
- Bridge Microsoft 365 to an FTP-only legacy system
- Automate a manual download-from-SharePoint-then-upload-to-FTP routine
The two ends don't have to be the same company — invite a customer or trading partner into the channel and they run the SharePoint or FTP side under their own account, with their own credentials. Learn how shared channels work.
