FAQs

How do I sync FTP data to Snowflake?

Sign up for Weld, connect FTP as a source and Snowflake as a destination. Weld handles the extraction, loading, and lets you transform data using SQL or dbt.

What FTP data can I sync to Snowflake?

You can sync Files, Folders, and Documents. The available objects depend on your FTP account permissions and configuration.

How often does Weld sync data from FTP?

Sync frequency depends on your Weld plan. Schedules range from every 5 minutes to daily intervals. Each sync processes only new and changed data.

Can I transform FTP data before it lands in Snowflake?

Yes. Weld supports SQL-based transformations in the platform and integrates with dbt Cloud. You can clean, join, and model your data before analysis.
