I'm trying to pull data from a public FTP server located in a different country into my AWS account in the eu-west-2 region. What are some effective methods to do this seamlessly? Also, how can I mitigate any latency issues that might arise during this process?

"Seamless" usually means you want a smooth process without issues. Regarding latency, there are plenty of serverless AWS solutions, such as Lambda, that can help manage the data pull effectively, especially if high performance isn't a strict requirement.
You might want to check out options like SFTP or SSH for pulling the data. Just make sure to do some tests on the latency; it shouldn’t exceed 500ms under normal conditions, even from far-off locations.
Consider using the AWS Transfer Family; it's specifically designed for moving files to AWS services. Just keep in mind that it mainly supports uploads, so if you're intending to actively pull data, you might need a different method.
Remember that the speed of light can affect latency, so there are fundamental limits based on physical distance. Until we invent something to solve that, we have to work with the current tech limitations!
