SFTP Copy file - source file path

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 21

I'm new to building flows and to using SFTP. It tried many options and search everywhere.

 

Can I use SFTP Copy to copy a file from SharePoint to an SFTP server?

How do I specify the source path for a SharePoint file?

How do I specify the source path for a OneDrive file?

Thanks,

-Daniel

    The Copy file is executed completely on the destination FTP server. It does not upload a file from a source machine to destination machine. It copies a file from 1 folder to another folder on the destination machine. 

     

    To upload from a source machine to a destination machine, I have to get the file identifier and contents from SharePoint or OneDrive and use SFTP Create File on the destination machine.
