  • Hi Author,

    Has recently there been changes to the 'Send File Over SFTP' smart service with the latest version of the plugin?

    When I upgraded the plugin from 1.6.2 to 2.2.2 then the 'Send File Over SFTP' smart service started failing for no reason. And the interesting thing is smart service node passes without any error and the file is not placed onto the SFTP location.

    And when I check logs the following is the error:

    [Appian Work Item - 16520 - WorkID 208 - execution00 - process 169537 - model 10914 : UnattendedJavaActivityRequest] ERROR com.appian.ps.plugins.sftpsmartservices.SendFileOverSFTP - Error transferring file to SFTP server 2: The system cannot find the path specified.     at com.jcraft.jsch.ChannelSftp.throwStatusError(ChannelSftp.java:2873)
