Appian Community and Appian Academy are being upgraded. From July 24–August 3, the Appian Community will be in read-only mode. During this time, the site will be read-only and user registration will be disabled. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but a more secure, stable, and performant Community experience is coming soon!
The new Appian Community launches August 3, followed by Appian Academy on August 7. During the migration, Appian Community Edition, Appian Academy, Documentation, Certifications, Instructor-led Customer Training, Partner Sales Training & Accreditation, and Forum (for Appian Partners and Customers only) will remain available.
Overview

This plugin allows the user to move files between Appian and the file system, rename a file in the file system and poll files and folder within the specified path in the file system.

Hello,
The log4j version (2.22.1) used by this plugin has been flagged as vulnerable by our security scanner. Could you please help upgrade the log4j version and provide an updated JAR file?
Thank You,
Sneha.
Hello Vuram and all,
Is this plugin works with 25.3?
Thanks,
Bhushan
problem resolved, it was a conflict with https://community.appian.com/b/appmarket/posts/appian-collab-filesystem-utilities and a reboot of appian tomcat was necessary
With Appian 24.2, the installation of the plugin looks ok

But only the service "Move File to Appian" is available in the designer
is this plugin compatible with appian 24.2?
Upgraded to 23.4 smart services involved with the plugin lost their old appearance and no longer seem to function.
Gives a "directory cannot be created" error on file movements.
