Does IIB provide support to connect to a FTP/SFTP server?
If so, please explain which node needs to be used. |

Yes.

The ones that it's not hard to guess, if you think about what the File Transfer Protocol is used for. 
Or if you prefer:
The ones that come up if you type "ftp" into the InfoCenter search. The same search will also have a number of useful links on how to configure the transfer (especially for sftp) and what options exist to avoid hard coding server names.

Yes I did try FileInput node and gave the FTP server and port details and username in the respective tabs. But I was unable to connect to it. I also connected a trace node to my failure node to see if any error occurred. But that too did not help.
I am not sure how to give my password in this.
Could you please help |

First of all - use a configurable service to hold the FTP/SFTP server name and directory details - never hard code these in a flow.
Secondly - use mqsisetdbparms command to store credentials for access. Use SSH keys for SFTP in preference to passwords.
The "username" as you call it - is the name of the security id, which is set by mqsisetdbparms. That entry holds the actual FTP userid/password or reference to the key file.
RTM.
