  • Hello, I'm currently experiencing an issue with the Smart Service called "Send File Over SFTP" after upgrading our plug-in from 1.7.0 to 3.0.2.  The error I am seeing in the PM and tomcat logs is "Error transferring file to SFTP server 2: No such file".

    1.7.0 - SendFileOverSFTPwithSCSUsernameAndPasswordV2 - working

    3.0.2 - SendFileOverSFTPwithSCSUsernameAndPasswordV3 - not working

    I understand that there is an even new version of the Smart Service than the V3 above but I would like to understand why my current process model is failing assuming the V3 support is still valid.  I've checked and the file I'm currently trying to send exists within Appian.  Our SCS have also been configured and verified to be correct.  The file path is correct as well.  Could I get some help in figuring out what could be the problem?

    Configuration for Send File Over SFTP

    External System Key: pv!sftpKey

    Server Host Name: pv!sftpHostPort[1]

    Server Port: tointeger(pv!sftpHostPort[2])

    Remote File Path: concat(pv!remoteFilePath, "/", pv!zipDocName)  i.e. "/broadcast/testing.dat.zip"

    Source Document: pv!zipFile

  • Hi Alison, are there any other error messages when you test V3? Does the log say anything about "Error obtaining document to send path"?
