    There is no single best way, it all depends on your specific requirements and limitations. One of them is what you exactly mean by "immediately". Also, is the FTP reachable from internet (namely from the Azure data center hosting your instance of Finance and Operations)?

    Yes Sir.FTP is reachable from azure cloud.But i want to avoid coding.

    I have consumed FTP URL earlier in AX 2012 by writing code. But i am not sure how the same code will work in AZURE hosted production environment. can i use other tools like microsoft flow?

    The same code could work, you can easily try it in a cloud hosted dev environment. Depends on your code.

    Microsoft Flow has an FTP connector, too: flow.microsoft.com/.../ftp

    Also with Flow, you have to configure your FTP server to allow connections.

    If you want to write as little code as possible, you can utilize something that can handle FTP communication for you, such as a logic app. But you'll still need some code to take the file (or just the text as string, you don't have to create any file in AX!) and pass it there. Nevertheless it might be an overkill, if you don't need the logic app to do anything else.

    Microsoft Flow is a tool built on top of logic apps to offer self-service integration for non-developers. It's not this case.

    I can't comment on your specific code, but you surely can use standard .NET libraries to connect to FTP from code in Azure.
