I am using file utilities plugin (Move To System Files) to move the files to the NAS drives mounted on Appian server.

But the folder is set with 775 permissions and I am getting error as java.io.FileNotFoundException: Permission denied) when moving the file to that nas drive.

I am able to move to the sample folder which was set with 777 permission with out any issues. so no issues with NAs mounting.

I want to upload/ move  the file now to that 775 folder now.  we achieved this using SFTP  with FID set in Third party credential and able to achieve.

I am looking for the same way to run with that FID using new way (File system plugins) , please suggest.

    Seems to be related with permissions....

    When you use SFTP I guess that you are using an account that is the owner of the folder.,

    But the the user Appian is using, is not the FTP user, and it's not the owner, so you can't copy the folder having set permissions to 775.
