Question

Copy Document to disk

Hello Community,
 Is there any alternate plugin for the following one: https://community.appian.com/b/appmarket/posts/download-file-to-disk (this seems to be old)

 Requirement: We have to copy some files generated in Appian to different folder in server. Please share your thoughts for any plugin that suits this requirement. Even if the smart service renders the file path of the actual document would also suffice our requirement.

TIA,
Arun

The plug-in you linked is the main one I've heard of to do this; is there a problem with it?  I haven't heard about it no longer working (though also I haven't tried it myself).

Hi Mike,
The download link itself is not working. Im not sure if it is because the plugin was updated long back?

You mean the download link to download the plug-in itself?  I just checked and I was able to download it fine.

We've been moving to SFTP to get documents to our (or other) servers.  We had been using the Appian Collab / Filesystem Utilities plugin however it is currently flagged by Health Check for deprecations.  Would be nice if there was a more recent/supported mechanism for this, works out great for situations such as importing large amounts of documents (if a system conversion brings an app into Appian with a large document footprint, etc), but, assuming SFTP will be our go-to since this would not be cloud supported anyway.
