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

Hi Arpit,

We assume you have passed the parent directory path(not including the file name which you are passing) for the remote file path and source document as an Appian document for the file to send parameters.

We would like to schedule a call on Monday via zoom.Please send us your contact information and time u would like to connect over the email to mail team.int.swatcustomdev@vuram.com .

It would also be helpful if you could share the log files and the error you are receiving in the same email

Hi Arpit,

There has been a lot of revisions made between 1.6.2 and 2.2.1. File to send now expects the Appian document location and Remote file path expects the path to the directory.Please find the below snapshot were the configurations were working

If still not working we can connect over call
