Hi John, We tried to reproduce this issue but the Send file over SFTP smart service is working as expected. Please share the snips on the input of the smart service and error message. We will further investigate on this once the snips are shared.

Hi, we recently updated to 1.8.1 from 1.7.1 and it seems the Send File Over SFTP smart service is not working anymore. We're receiving "No such file" error. We also didn't change anything on the process models that use that smart service.

Any advice on this?

Thanks!

Hi ayushimittal, make sure the plug-in is deployed to your cloud environment or the jar is copied to APPIAN_INSTALL/_admin/plugins/ of an on-premise environment https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/20.1/Appian_Plug-ins.html

After that you can find them by searching in the process modeler palette for smart service by name.

Where can I get these 'SFTP Smart Services'. I am unable to get these services inside the process model smart services.

Fixed on my own, by creating the temp folder in the _admin.
