Send File Over SFTP - Remote File Path

Hello,

I am using Send File Over SFTP smart service and I'm supposed to place a file in docfiles folder of F drive in the destination remote VM. So I've given the remote file path as "F:/docfiles/sample.pdf" 

However File is not being transferred to remote file path and I am receiving No Such File error in Appian though I have sample.pdf available in Appian repository.

Any thoughts pls ?

    Hi girikumard, Can you check if you are getting your file in PV ? and Try to access the SFTP path in other browser and check if that's working. Accordingly you can set your path in PM.

    Hi Gopal, yes getting the file in PV.

    How to access SFTP path in bowsers? As this path is a remote VM which needs Id and password to connect.

    FTP does not support drive letters. A user gets a base path assigned, and based on this you will need to define the remote path.

    How could we know the assigned base path for the user in remote VM?

    I suggest to explore the path structure using a SFTP tool.
