Hi, we recently updated to 1.8.1 from 1.7.1 and it seems the Send File Over SFTP smart service is not working anymore. We're receiving "No such file" error. We also didn't change anything on the process models that use that smart service.

Any advice on this?

Thanks!

Hi John, We tried to reproduce this issue but the Send file over SFTP smart service is working as expected. Please share the snips on the input of the smart service and error message. We will further investigate on this once the snips are shared.

Hi Pari,

Please try deploy v2.0.0 for your 20.1 Appian version and check if the issue is persisted. If the issue still exists, share the screenshot of the issue with the response.
