Hi guys, I'm pretty new to downloading/sending files to an FTP using the Alteryx Download tool. I just ran it and got these messages back - to me it seems to indicate a successful transfer/upload to the FTP but when I check the actual FTP in WinSCP I can't see the file I'm sending... Do these messages indicate a successful transfer after all?
Hi @FJ_Shafeek ,
It looks that way, but we need more information. Are you including a full file path for the destination? You need to determine where the file is going because it may have been added to a subfolder.
Can you show the configuration of the download tool and the calculation of the filepath if you are using a formula tool?
thanks,
M.
Hi @mceleavey
Thanks for responding - it's a pretty basic setup
My text input:
My download tool
And my connection tab is just my login info. I wasn't given a specific directory to put the files in, and when I open the ftp in WinSCP I don't see any other folders, so it may have something to do with my user's permission level.
Hi @FJ_Shafeek ,
Your destination file location needs to begin with sftp: then your file location. You're attempting to drop this to a local file location rather than the sftp site.
There's a good article HERE by @fadib that walks you through the process.
Hope this helps.
M.
