Hi Chris,

we need this feature as a recurring process. I have even tried my source path as a file in my local folder. But still it would give me "Invalid File Path" exception.

path: "C:\Dev\1.png"

Would it be possible for you to share your node configuration?

Is this a one-time move or a recurring process? I've only used this service a few times which have always been for one-time import of legacy data associated with an app we're transitioning to Appian. In those situations we first imported the files to our server, then utilized a path such as "E:\files\library1\file.txt", bypassing the share mount.

I haven't really used this plug-in so I don't know whether it supports copying directly to a network drive. Can you try pointing it at a path belonging to a local folder instead, if just to see whether that works instead?

Hi Mike,

I had tried with \\RmsStgIntWeb1\Section15Attachments\test1.txt and got the same invalid path error. Then saw a post in community where the person had given duplicate slashes and so I tried that too. Here is the post

Why are your path backslashes all doubled? Was there some indication in the plug-in setup documentation that says this is required? What happens if you try removing the duplicated backslashes? i.e. "\\RmsStgIntWeb1\Section15Attachments\test1.txt", which would be closer to the way a normal valid network path is written.

Here are the configuration details

Copy Only If Updated: True

Destination: "Subhashree Test Docs" (It's a folder)

Path: "\\\\RmsStgIntWeb1\\Section15Attachments\\test1.txt" (RmsStgIntWeb1 is a windows server)

Remove After Copy: False

Please share the exact configuration (or at least a representative example) of the path entry for the smart service node. Others here might recognize a syntactic error in your configuration for example, but I doubt anyone would be able to identify such based just on the error message you posted already.
