  • Hi, 
    Im trying to invoke Send File over SFTP smart service. When I run an instance, after an hour, the node fails with the error message "Connection closed by foreign host" . What could be the possible reason?

  • Hi ,

    1. Please check if the user is having full permissions to access the file/dir

    2. Please check the Port & Firewall is open or not.

    3. Try to connect to the SFTP server using some 3rd party tools like Filezilla and check.

    Once you checked the above-mentioned steps, check the smart service again. If the issue persists, please provide the snapshot of the issue and application server log as well.
