    Above is just sample endpoint as I can't disclose actual endpoint over here. However I had asked support from Appian and they replied that they are able to connect to endpoint from Appian so its not Appian issue and something to do with plugin.

  • in reply to TJ

    Hi Tj,

    The Cause of the issue is only due to network restrictions .Please try to manually/use file transfer tool like winscp to transfer a file through sftp from the appian machine .Please share us if you are able to do the same

  • I am trying to send a file and it gives me the below error. I have checked the documentation and everything is configured as expected.

    Hi ,

    Please share with us the screenshot of the configurations of the SFTP node and also check whether all mandatory fields are passed properly from Appian in both the secure credential store and the process model.

  • in reply to raghulvishnud

    Below are the screenshots as requested. Kindly let me know if you need more details

  • in reply to raghulvishnud

    Process model contains SFTP node start and end node that's it.

  • in reply to sriram.sampathkumar

    Hi, 

    In the secure credential store since are  we using a private key file for authentication correct, and can u also check with the same information are u able to connect to the SFTP server using the command line or any other tools like WINSCP

  • We are having an ongoing issue with node 'Receive File Over SFTP' wherein when we attempt to transfer files from 4 different folders simultaneously thru 4 instances simultaneously, we get error for 1 or 2 folders randomly. Is there a limitation in using a common single service account for all folders, as we are currently doing?

    hi ,

    We open a connection for each node execution and the same will be closed at the end of the execution. We have tried to run several transfers parallelly and were not able to recreate the scenario. Please share with us a sandbox environment where we can try to replicate the scenario and analyze the issue.
