Transfer Appian KC documents from Appian KC to New Common folder within same server

Hi Team,

We have Appian 18.2 on-premise installation where the documents are presently stored within Appian KC's. We now plan to move these documents to an external file share server. However since the file share server does not support SFTP or FTP connection, we have to first move these documents to a central folder within the same server where Appian is hosted on.

For this we tried to send document using the SFTP plugins Smart Service - Send File Over SFTP (Basic Credentials) and Send File over FTP. Both these nodes error out with an error message as "Error establishing SFTP connection. Confirm your hostname, username and password. See application server log for more details. Error Message: Auth fail" and "Stream handler unavailable due to: null" respectively.

Now we need to know, if we should have a FTP server installed on the server where the Appian platform is hosted even for internal transfers?

And is there any alternative (can be even not using the plugins) for first collecting these documents at a central location and then transferring them to the fileshare.

Thanks in advance!!.

Regards,
Himanshu
