https://community.appian.com/discussions/f/plug-ins/20427/sftp-plugin---connection-checkHi All, Im trying to invoke SFTP smart services plugin. Is there a way to check if the connection is successful without executing the smart service??en-USTelligent Community 12https://community.appian.com/thread/79727?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 22 Feb 2021 00:53:09 GMTd3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:27512fd8-e56f-4b6e-83a9-1b925876b5d2josep<p>Hello Arun, </p> <p>If I understood you correct you want to check the network connectivity ? To check if the port is open and everything? </p> <p>I am assuming you have basic authentication so you have multiple options</p> <p>1) put a wrong password of you don’t have connection issue it will fail because the use and passwords are incorrect </p> <p>2) ask for a user how has limited access that way you can confirm the connectivity and it is just a matter of configuring the correct user/password </p> <p>3) just to check connectivity I have used the integration rule which points to the ftp ip:port using the http protocol. If it fails on handshake (wrong protocol) or something similar you mostly have a successful network connectivity. </p> <p>Other than that, get the approvals and evidence well run it once and confirm you have right connectivity with a different process model for example to by getting the list of files in a directory(that is another smart service) But at certain point you will need to run it. </p> <p>Thanks</p> <p>Jose</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
