Hello,

Is there a way to send multiple files trough SFTP ?

Because the source document cannot take multiple files, so it send only the first one in the list of files.

Or is there a way to workaround ?

Thank you

Hey Raza,

I have some problems with plugin send file over FTP. I think i put wrong value into Remote File Path - I've read documanation but i saw you put there some function as a value to your process variable. Can you share with me this fucntion? Can you send this function?

Thanks in advance

I keep receiving the below error when using the "Send File Over SFTP" node:

Error establishing SFTP connection. Confirm your hostname, username and password. See application server log for more details. Error Message: Unable to retrieve credentials from SCS: Required field username does not exist in SCS (sftp.functions)

However, I know the SCS includes a "username" attribute. What could the issue be?
