Hello nWre,

[quote user=""]I've been trying to find some sort of sample code to get started but have failed, is it possible to get some help with this?[/quote]

The Serial LTE modem application supports FTP. Otherwise, the nRF Connect SDK includes a FTP Client library with an API that should be pretty straight forward to use.

[quote user=""]A follow up question being: I am new to the IoT-world and I am surprised to see FTP not being mentioned very often. Is this because it is not normal practice when it comes to data upload to server? Is there another method being preferred here?[/quote]

FTP is a file based protocol, which means that a file structure is a requirement. A very commonly used data transfer protocol is otherwise MQTT.

Regards,

Markus
