Hi Team
We notice that the SFTP single file download appears to have some issues when downloading small files, we are using v2.0.0
When downloading files (using 'receive File Over SFTP') it seems that the file size is set to 0 for some reason.In Appian, it shows as '<1kb' but the contents are still there (checked by downloading the file and opening outside of appian)
With some trial & error I found out that this happens for files below ~10kb size. (CSV files in our case)
In our setup, this impacts the process, because this file needs to be uploaded to a sharepoint, and that Smart Service depends on the filesize metadata, rendering the uploaded file corrupt.
Please let me know if you need more information reproducing this issue.
Hi jvandenbranden - we are experiencing this issue as well where files are being copied over at "0" size when there is actual data in appian. We are being returned with "Input stream is closed" error. Your issue seems to be similar with out findings. Can you confirm if you were able to find a solution to this? We are currently on 2.2.1 version of SFTP Functions
Hi jvandenbranden - the new version was release on Friday Jan 15
Hi Krishnan
Any idea on the timeline of the release?
Thanks in advance for the info!
Hi jvandenbranden
We found and fixed the issue. The updated version will be soon released in the App Market.
Hi jvandenbranden,
Thanks for sharing. we will get back to you after analysis.
Thanks for looking into this.
I have replicated the issue with a file of 6KB
When duplicating some lines to enlarge the file >10KB, the issue did not occur;
About the SFTP server, which is not managed by ourselves, I can see the following information;

Hi Mike
We're using the Receive node with the External System Key (credential store), in combination with a private key file.
Which Receive node are you using? The one that you provide credentials in secure credentials store or directly in the node?
