Hi,

I have cloud flow which copies csv file from SharePoint and should push the file to SFTP server, 3rd party server.

When i run flow from SharePoint (Source) is fine, however when it comes to SFTP create file is failing.

Error msg - Action 'Create_file' failed: Permission denied clientRequestId: I have power automate premium license. I have checked with 3rd party about their credential, advised given credentials is correct.

SFTP-SSH connection is setup and its working, However, not sure why it is failing. I have attached few eror screenshots. 
 
Any help will be appreciated

    Hi 
     
    Can you please share your code please.
     
    What this means is that you aren't doing the handshake properly to their system. So it blocks you.

    Hi,
     
    I have attached 2 pdf files adding all possible flow screenshot, codes and error codes.
    Let me know if i have missed anything to add.
     
    Code - This file has the flow of power automate AI suggested.
    Code 2 flow is created by me. Both have same issues.
     
    I have created flow in desktop, its works fine as it is pulling file from netwrok drive.
    Same flow in cloud, if i swap SFTP to another sharepoint destination is works aswell. 
     
    Thanks in advance
