@mohammedz You are correct, adding domain has resolved the initial problem but has served to highlight a new issue. The smart node generates an exception: java.io.IOException: illegal filename for a PUT. I suspect this has something to do with the folder settings on the target ftp server but I am having difficulty finding the root cause.

Hi Mohammed, I think this may solve the problem: forum.appian.com/.../. reference to the comment from Owen on user locale.

No it isn't but I don't have an expression to test it with.
I will try a new setup and check results.

Hi Mohammed, Thank you for the post, I have already checked over this article though and it appears to relate to SFTP. The only difference is the mention of using domain in the secure credentials, which I have tried but still no connection.

System requirements:

1) Your remote server path should be exposed to SFTP i.e., it should be SFTP enabled
To get to know this place some file in remote location path and run the below command
sftp
It will show path is ftp enabled or not

2) you need to generate key in secure credentials store ... u need to add following fields over there
username (target user)
Password (target pwd)
Domain ( if u local machine or SharePoint or ur server has any domain u need add that as well )

If it 16.1 or more there will we a button "Test connection" to check connection from admin.Once this done appian will generate a key, store the value of key in a constant

In the smart service you need to pass the key , target hostname , port , Document u need to send , destination remote file path.. Once done if you trigger a process model file will get transferred.

To transfer files to local machine I believe you need to install a local FTP in your machine.
