={ hostname:"eu-central-1.sftpcloud.io",
username:"ef87e78f37c646ca8056eabdce3f86e7",
password:"cjunTmFzmlfuuANjI8Xt2afAzeuJ4mno",
port:22,
timeout:60,
appianexternalKey:"secure-credentials-store"
}

ii. all the declared variable

iii. this is the process model trying to retrieve the files from the server, adding a file, and trying to download the same file. But I'm getting errors at the rach phase of executions.

can you please help me to resolve the errors and make the process model execute?

Thanks in advance.

    1. Not sure if you want to be exposing your credentials here.

    2. What do you have configured in the Secure Credentials Store?

    Hi,

       1. Thanks for bringing a reminder about the exposing of the credentials. They are temporary and deleted after 3o min after creation.

      2. To create an External System Key, we first head to the Appian Administrator console tab in Appian, then Third-party credentials, and here I created one.

    But I saved it without testing, (as I don't have any idea of how to test)

    This allows the Appian to connect and authorize them.

    " The external system key as specified in the secure credentials store. " is mentioned in the documentation.

    You can't test from secure credentials store.

    Did you try renaming the parameter to "passphrase" instead of fingerprint?

    Please see here for more details:
