How to Export CSV File to Server: A Guide for Make.com Users

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you need to export a CSV file to a server, but you're not sure how to go about it? You might have thought about using FTP or SFTP, but then realized that these options don't seem to offer a way to write files to disk, only to retrieve them. If this sounds familiar, don't worry, you're not alone. Many Make.com users have faced this challenge, and we're here to help.

Step-by-Step Solution

The solution to this problem is simpler than you might think. All you need to do is use the 'Upload a file' action of the FTP Make module. This will allow you to write your CSV file to disk, i.e., your FTP server.

Alternative Solution

If for some reason the FTP Make module doesn't work for you, there's another option you can try. If you have a client for Dropbox, Box, OneDrive, or a similar service running on your server, you can use Make to drop the file in a particular folder on that service. The service's client will then download it to disk for you.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you're still having trouble, here are a few things you can try:

  • Check your FTP settings to make sure they're correct.
  • Make sure the 'Upload a file' action is enabled in your FTP Make module.
  • Try using a different file-sharing service if the one you're using isn't working.

Conclusion

In conclusion, writing a CSV file to disk on a server is a challenge that many Make.com users have faced. But with the 'Upload a file' action of the FTP Make module, or by using a file-sharing service client on your server, you can easily overcome this challenge. We hope this guide has been helpful, and we encourage you to keep exploring and learning with Make.com!
