    Hi Team,

    We've resolved the issue which was reported by  a month ago.
    The issue was due to usePerUserCredentials param not being passed becuase usePerUserCredentials is defaulted to false(). And the error we received was also didn't highlight that missing params shold be added; would have been good to throw specific errorMsg.
    It would have been nice if these params are highlighted under documentation as required/optional. 

    SFTP Send File used to highlight it as required/optional under 1.7v when each param was input on SS: 

    Now with 3.0.3 it collectively takes input as one:




    And SFTP doc does not mention which fields are required/optional:


    If this documentation could be updated it would be really helpful.
    In addition, knowHostsFile and privateKeyFile params show as type of Number - Integer in 3rd screenshot however in 4th screenshot these params show dataType as document. Ideally should be doc as I've used privateKeyFile with 1.7 and I used to pass a doc encompassing key.

    If we can correct these, this will help the developers a great deal! Thanks much!
