Unable to Open archive for zipping

Hi, my workflow runs when on my desktop and saves my file with date time but when I add it to our server I get this error for the output. Unable to Open archive for zipping. I added the date time to my file path so I can run it more than once a day and save the new file out there.

Hi @jdobbins does your Alteryx Server have access to the locaiton you are trying to save to? Your Alteryx would need write permissions for it to run on the server.

The inputs pull from the same folder and work fine on the server so I'm assuming it does? but may be something I need to check.
