Posted on by CruzBinet 1

I am trying to create a flow that copies the file to SharePoint when a new file is added to an SFTP server and then deleted the file from the SFTP folder. So far I have tried the following, the flow copy or create the file but not delete file in sftp

 

Thank you for the Help.

    Hi @CruzBinet ,

     

    The "delete file" action require a "unique id" of the file instead of the File name.

    You should use the trigger "When files are added or modified (properties only)" of sftp connector, the trigger "When files are added or modified (properties only)" of sftp connector would have a "Id" dynamic content for you to use to delete the file. And you could add a "Get file content" action to get the file content and create the file in the sharepoint.

     

    Best regards,
    Alice
