Hi all,

 

I am pulling a file from FTP server. Can anyone please help me how I can export the same file into multiple locations in my desktop?

 

Thank you

If you just want to download a file and save it into multiple locations, you can create a mapping between the FTP path and the locations where you'd like to save the file and feed it into the Download module. The caveat is that you will be downloading the file multiple times.

Assuming this is a data file, you can download the file and load it into Alteryx as data, parse it out, append paths to the locations you'd like to save the files, and use the Dynamic output option available within the Output Data Module

Hey Michael. 

 

This is really helpful. I created mapping between the FTP path and the locations where the file needs to be saved. It worked. Thank you. Much appreciated.
