Hello, I wonder why this smart service is not able to return a response of whether the action was successful or not. What I'm currently doing is Sending the File Over SFTP and then Getting the Remote Directory Contents in order to verify if the file it was sent was successfully saved on the server. However, if the file ends up not being in the server, it will throw an error (this because I'm now passing the file path and not the directory path for the simple reason of in case there are thousands of files in that directory). I can't seem to find a solution to this problem. Any tip or if this plugin will ever be updated to return any type of response of whether the sending of the file was successfully executed?
hi arunramanathtm ,

Hi arunramanathtm,
We will check on the possibilities of using an SSL certificate in the SEND FILE OVER FTPS Smart service.
Hi Team,We are trying to do FTP over SSL using SEND FILE OVER FTPS smartservice.We have deployed the necessary client certificate in the admin console yet the smart service gives the error message like ERROR READHANDSHAKE RECORDFrom the below discussion, I can understand that if the authentication is indeed via client certificate, we can not incorporate this smart service directlyhttps://community.appian.com/discussions/f/plug-ins/12127/sftp-smart-service-plug-inPlease help us resolve this.
1. Please check if the user is having full permissions to access the file/dir
2. Please check the Port & Firewall is open or not.
3. Try to connect to the SFTP server using some 3rd party tools like Filezilla and check.
Once you checked the above-mentioned steps, check the smart service again. If the issue persists, please provide the snapshot of the issue and application server log as well.
