Upload file to NFS

Question

Hi, need suggestion for the following requirement. We want to place a CSV file generated through Appian within a specific folder path in NFS(Network File System). Appian runs in an EC2 AWS instance and the NFS is a on-prem file location. We are not permitted to mount the NFS and hence looking for solutions.

Any chance you could consider alternate approaches such as using the sFTP smart service to send it to a sFTP server you set up? This could (presumably) be either within your NFS, or to a location where any files sent there are automatically copied to your NFS via some outside automation of your choice.

I would recommend, Set up an SFTP server on your on-prem environment that has access to the NFS location. Use SFTP Smart Service to transfer the CSV file directly to the SFTP server, which will then place it in the required NFS folder path.
