Download tool not connecting to FTP

Hello all, this feels like a basic question but I can't seem to figure out for the life of me.

 

Basically just trying to upload a simple file to Datorama FTP, but it can't seem to connect.

Here is my input text file:

I take the file and turn it into a blob, then this is my download tool configuration:

I do have a username/password but it doesn't seem to even get to the point where it tries to verify my credentials. When I open CMD and ping the FTP, this is what I get:

so that doesn't seem to work, but then this option does:

what gives?

Hi @FJ_Shafeek 

 

The "Address" field doesn't have any extension. I guess if you're trying to upload a file, you need to specify an extension in the URL field, like "whatever.xlsx"

Try to concatenate the ftp URL with the filename you're grabbing from the Blob Input.


Something like that should work.

I am also trying to upload files to Datorama.

 

I was able to connect to the server using "ftp.datorama.com:2222" as the URL. 

However, I am timing out when trying to upload the file. I have the timeout set to 0 seconds.

 

I was hoping this would work because e-mailing the file out of Alteryx is also failing.

 

Did you find a solution that worked?
