Upload file to FTP

Hello!

 

I'll preface this post by acknowledging there may be something already posted to do this, but I am not searching for the correct terms or my very novice understanding prevents me from finding the appropriate steps. 

 

I have a file created in Alteryx placed on a shared directory for IT to pick up. Unfortunately, IT security will preclude IT from access a business network drive. We've found an alternative FTP location accessible for IT to pick up my file. 

 

In the same workflow, can I add a Block Until Done function whereby the file is first created as a .csv and placed in our Shared directory and then the file is passed through steps to place it at an FTP location which requires entering system credentials?

 

I attempted something I found related to Blob (I have no clue what that tool does). I've created a field named Target Directory with the path to drop the .csv file. If I'm on the correct track here, how do I enter credentials?

Sorry I did not really test the workflow, but it should be something like this.

And this post should help also.
