Hi, satyaa0001

The Current Version does not rename the file/change the extension while creating in the sftp server. Please rename the document in Appian before transferring the file to SFTP

Hi Team,

After upgrading plugin from 1.6.2 to 2.2.1, we are facing issues with "Remote File Path" input parameter even after replacing the "Send File Over SFTP" Node.

Please find more details below and suggest if there is any solution:

Document: myfile.txt

Remote File Path: "\myfile.txt_suffix"

Expected output: File should be created at destination folder with suffix.

Output: Suffix is being truncated at destination.

This used to work before upgrading the plugin. Please advice.

Thank you!

Hi Arpit

As we cannot ensure that the remote path you have shared is a Linux path, please do the following

We cannot make a change for this issue as the absolute path is required in other cases and security concerns to provide relative path support. We will provide you with a changed .text file with the older code. Please replace the changes to smart service and make it a private deployment for your use case

Steps

1. Download the plugin code and import in eclipse

2. Replace the attached text file inside appClientModule/com/appian/ps/plugins/sftpsmartservices and rename it to .java

3. Recompile the plugin file and submit as a private deployment to appian

I've tried what we discussed yesterday in the meeting; it's not working.

Would you please now help with another way? Like you mentioned adding Boolean in the plug-in.

Hi Arpit ,

As per our analysis, the code has been changed such that the remote file path will be the directory path of the file to create relative from the logged-in user.

Please try out the following "" and "/" in the remote file path and share us the results
