  • Hi ,

    Please share with us the screenshot of the configurations of the SFTP node and also check whether all mandatory fields are passed properly from Appian in both the secure credential store and the process model.

  • Hi, 

    In the secure credential store since are  we using a private key file for authentication correct, and can u also check with the same information are u able to connect to the SFTP server using the command line or any other tools like WINSCP

  • Process model contains SFTP node start and end node that's it.
