I think I've run into what must be a bug in Flow. I'm attempting to use two file system connections in the same flow as I'm trying to transfer a file between file servers (initiated from SharePoint). The first connection uses an action to get the file contents of a text file, and the second action uses an action (different connection) to create the file. Here is how I have it setup:
I have verified many times that each is using the correct connection (I have a connection setup for each file server, and they're entirely different set of credentials). When I run this, the Create File step creates the file on the file server in which I'm getting the file content, but uses the entire path defined in the Folder Path attribute of the Create File step. You can see what I mean in the results:
I have tried recreating all of the connections, using different credentials, and recreating the entire Flow, but it always results in this very odd behavior. Any ideas how to work around this or what I may be doing wrong?
Hi @rjhale ，
I‘m afraid that as you said, two connection of file system connector is not supported in one single flow.

I'm trying to figure it how/why the Create File step is creating the file on the wrong file server. You can see in the screenshot that is actually prepending "\\ufiles" to the output path. uFiles is the file server from the previous step, and it is not the connection that I'm using on that Create File step.
I'm starting to wonder if it's permissible to use the same connector (file system in this case) with multiple connections within the same Flow?
Hi @rjhale ,
Could you please explain more details about the issue?
Best regards,
Alice
