Is it possible to create an automation that exports a list (not a DE) to an FTP?

Question

I need a way to automatically export a list (not DE) to an FTP. I know this is possible when using DE's, data extracts, and file transfer activities. However, no documentation seems to exists when trying to perform the same function on lists.

Answer 1

Found the answer after I posted, thought others may want to know.

I created a query that looked at the _ListSubscribers data view. Example below:

Select [EmailAddress]
FROM 
_ListSubscribers
WHERE
ListID = XXXXXXXX

Then, I created an automation that runs this query, performs a data extract of the target DE, then a file transfer activity to move the target DE to an FTP.

This worked for my needs and may for others.
