    Hi,

    What all possible values are being returned by output parameters 'Error' and 'Status'?
    I found datatype for both these parameters is TEXT. So it will be helpful if you can enlist all possible values returned by these 2 output parameters.

    Thank you!

    Hi Arpit

    As we cannot ensure that the remote path you have shared is a Linux path, please do the following

    We cannot make a change for this issue as the absolute path is required in other cases and security concerns to provide relative path support. We will provide you with a changed .text file with the older code. Please replace the changes to smart service  and make it a private deployment for your use case

    Steps
    1. Download the plugin code and import in eclipse
    2. Replace the attached text file inside appClientModule/com/appian/ps/plugins/sftpsmartservices and rename it to .java
    3. Recompile the plugin file and submit as a private deployment to appian

    I've tried what we discussed yesterday in the meeting; it's not working.

    Would you please now help with another way? Like you mentioned adding Boolean in the plug-in.

    Hi Arpit ,

    As per our analysis, the code has been changed such that the remote file path will be the directory path of the file to create relative from the logged-in user.

    Please try out the following "" and "/" in the remote file path and share us the results
