Hi All,

 

I have Alteryx Designer on my desktop. Is there a way to connect Alteryx designer to remote server to extract files residing there?

 

Any related assistance is highly appreciated.

 

Thanks

 

Shivam

If the location folder is mapped, then it is as easy as pointing to that location in the Input.  You will need the permissions set up to see that directory as well.  You can also use UNC pathing, like \\[computer name]\drive\directory\file.xxx.

 

See this for some info on dependencies.  https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Server-Knowledge-Base/Workflow-Dependencies/ta-p/49696

 

If you can see in in an Explorer box, then you should be able to connect in Alteryx.
