Hi Team,

Using the "Retrieve Files in Folders over FTPS", i was able to download all files from folder when i specify the folder path.

But if i specify a single file along with it's path, then the file is downloading as <1 KB file and not able to download and open.

Please help me , on how to download single file using this plugin ?

Thanks in advance....

I am using v2.0 I am not able to receive file by using "Receive File Over SFTP (Basic Credentials).

It is giving error, "String index out of range : -1".

"Send File Over SFTP (Basic Credentials) " is working fine and I am able to send file to the remote site.

Any help on this will be appreciated.

Thanks

I am trying to get remote directory contents and facing one issue:

It is returning all the directories name under that folder but it is not returning the file names. Is anyone else is also facing the same issue? Also one strange thing happened, with the same configuration, it was able to return the file name for once. Node is not braking or giving any error.

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.
