Hi sriram.sampathkumar,

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.

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

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.

Hi From the Error Log ,we can see that the server is trying to connect to https://host.com which is not resolvable from your machines network resulting in a unknown host exception .

Please try checking the same from your side

Hi, Can you please elaborate a little Before the 7-8th document everything works fine, but after this, it starts to throw a timeout exception, so it will help us identify the root cause?

The configurations of the node how the instances are triggered (MNI or default), are you trying with a combination of getting directory contents followed by receive file over sftp, The above information will help us to replicate and identify a fix for the issue

From the error, we can see the issue is related to connectivity the Client is unable to read the entire contents before the timeout is configured. From a code perspective no upper bound time limit is specified for connection and for each instance of the above operation we are closing the channel
