    It will copy the files to Appian. The source file won't be deleted.

  • Hello, I have a question - is there any limitation in terms which kind of private keys are supported? I have tried to use ppk format from putty keygen, 4096 bit encryption, with passphrase. however constantly getting an error - Invalid private key. Did somebody have similar experience?

    BR, Aleksandrs

  • Hello , I am facing an issue with new version of SFTP  plugin . with Previously version , I was using Send File Over SFTP smart service to send my file to destination  location , under smart service in remote file path : I was giving destination path /file name and upload the file . File was going with file name without any extension as file name mentioned remote file path doesn't contain any extension . But with new version , in remote file path : it is accepting only path , and filename what is been upload is begin taken . problem now is file which been upload is adding the extension also to it . As i want to strip of the extension and send only filename to the destination . but extension is automatically attached when it is sent . Does n't ayone can suggest what is possible way to strip of file extension .

    At destination location , expecting only file name without extension . 

  • Hi,

    I will have to use "Retrieve Files in Folders over FTPS" to get documents from a share folder.

    With this smart service, have documents (retrieved) been removed from the original share folder?

    Thanks

    Hello good!


    Can you tell us how you solved it?

    We had a route such that:

    /user1/d/test/mytest.txt

    Until we updated the version of the plugin, this worked correctly for us, but since we updated it, it returns this error:

    Error transferring file to SFTP server
    2: No such file

    Any solution?

    A greeting and thanks in advance

  • in reply to raghulvishnud

    Reproduce the issue by using 3-4 instances of the same process to load from different folders simultaneously, where each folder has more than 6 files, using the same account for all file transfers. If you are unable to reproduce, we can check about giving sandbox or dev access and/or having a conference call to show how it works on our system. Perhaps you can guide us in formulating a solution to this issue. Thanks in advance!

  • in reply to mwiseman1

    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.

    Also an issue on node com.appian.ps.plugins.sftpsmartservices.RemoveFileOverSFTP, log attached.

  • 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, 

    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
