Hello everyone,

I attempted to use Send File Over SFTP and set a folder but I am getting an error below.

Is it really possible to send a folder will multiple files inside using Send File Over SFTP? If yes, may I ask for guidance how to do this? Or any solution how can I send multiple files to SFTP because the way I see it we can only send one file at a time.

Any help will be highly appreciated. Thank you.

    Hi sarah,
    the error message tells you already what you issue is.
    my suggestion:
    try to load the content of your folder (documents) and send it one by one over your sftp connection. (multiple instances)
    "folder" is not a "file". Its more a logical strucure in appian where its placed in your application. 
    for that reason its failing. you need a document. just documents are real files

      Thank you for your confirmation. Perhaps I can work on it through multiple instances. It would just be more convenient if I can send the whole folder instead.

      absolutly agree. perhaps appian will extend this one day. such things are usually perfect ideas to improve in future releases.
