I am trying to transfer do an SFTP transfer using Alteryx. I am referring following article to do this (It basically convert my source file into chunks of Blob files and using Download tool it transfer the file into destination). However when I transfer the files I can see only one file in the Target even though it created 3 files out of Blob input tool. Since my original file is around 3 GB I am splitting Blob into chunks of 1GB each. After running the workflow I can see only last chunk in the Target.
Not exactly sure what I am missing from transferring the entire file into Target or at least I am not able to see 3 chunks I am transferring .
Here is the Article I am referring to implement this: (I am referring to method 1)
Some screenshots:
Overall Workflow:
Blob Input Tool:
Download Tool (Basic Tab):
Download Tool (Payload Tab)
Hi @AlterIT ,
It seems you configured everything as it should. The only thing I can think of is related to your SFTP filenames, it can't have all the same name.

Interesting insight, my only concern is how can I name each chunks into unique names. Will this option in Download tool could work ? Right now I am using the option Output > String , Not sure how can I get this implemented into multiple files.
Download Tool:
Here is how my Address field looks in the Text Input Tool
Might be worth leveraging a record ID tool followed by a formula to make a unique file name that increments
That sounds a solution, Any examples would be helpful
Hi @AlterIT ,
Here is a suggestion for you.
Note that you can replace your filename column, but be aware of the column size to not truncate your new path.
This will create 3 files on your ftp server that needs to be combined into a single one later.
Best,
