We have only way to access the third party system is VPN.I don't know how it works and how it's different from

normal FTP or SFTP scenarios ...

Hi,

As far as I know, in the communication channel, you would still be specifying the standard FTP port (21). But you would need to configure the PI server IP address (of all 'n' number of cluster nodes if present) at the network / firewall setting to enable connection to the FTP server.

One more point would be to use passive mode while initiating the connection, as the FTP server would not be able to connect back incase of VPN (as firewall will not allow the connection), unlike active mode.
