SFTP Trigger suddenly not working

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by iamjustingraves 2

Hey folks. I have a flow I built a while back to pull files from an FTP site, copy them to a SP location and then delete the file from the FTP site. Everything has worked great for a long time until this morning. The trigger has stopped working. That trigger being "if file is added or modified."

 

I've tested adding a file to the FTP site in question, I can do that successfully but the automate trigger no longer kicks off to perform the rest of the actions. Is anyone else seeing this behavior today? My flow ran as recently as 6/12 last week.

    Hi @iamjustingraves 

    Have you checked if there is any firewall policy or any restriction that has been done FTP site which is blocking your access?

    Is the flow getting triggered at all? Have you tried browsing the folder structure from automate and see if you are able to access it?

    If there hasn't been any change there, please can you create a new file on your machine first and then try to upload it, trigger fails if file with old timestamp is added on file is added or modified trigger.
