Can't select a folder for SFTP-SSH connection

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 11

Hello!

Whenever I try to create a SFTP-SSH trigger that occurs whenever a file is added or modified, it starts by creating the connection as an "Invalid Connection", stating a folder is required. That makes sense, but I can't even add in the folder. Whenever I select the folder icon next to the "Specify a Folder" searchbar (since I can't enter the search bar either) I get the following error:

 

"... Connection 'connectionId' to 'shared_sftpwithssh' cannot be used to activate this flow, either because this is not a valid connection or because it is not a connection you have access permission for. Either replace the connection with a valid connection you can access or have the connection owner activate the flow, so the connection is shared with you in the context of this flow."


What does this mean, and what can I do to connect to the SFTP folder?

Thanks
