    I am trying to create folder over sftp, but receiving below error. But when I did ssh and able to manually create a folder in the same location with the same user. Initially for Remote Folder Path, tried with actual base folder location and actual folder to be created but received same below Nullpointer exception. Then created a new parameter newDirectoryName, still received same error.

    Could you please help me why I am facing this issue?

    Inputs configured to the smart service:

    File Transfer Configurations: 

    'type!{plugins.ps.appiancorp.com/.../}FT_Config'
    (
    serverHostName: 'hostname',
    serverPort: 22,
    scsExternalSystemKey: 'SCS_key',
    )

    Remote Folder Path : Actual Path where folder to be created.
    newDirectoryName: New directory name to be created.

    Error:
