SFTP - Unable to navigate to specific folder

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 2

I try to create a Flow to watch a specific folder for new files and copy them to OneDrive for Business.

 

Unfortunately, navigating to that specific folder isn´t possible as I don´t have the rights to show contents of /is/htdocs on that machine, so I cannot get down to the /www folder when I try to choose it. The error message (originally in german) reads like "The user does not have sufficient privileges to perform this operation."

 

The path is:

/is/htdocs/***/www/FOLDER

 

 

Pasting the full path to the folder doesn´t work either.

I have all privileges on /www and below.

 

Anyone got an idea how to solve this problem?

 

Regards

J-P

    Hi @J-P,

     

    I haven't used SFTP yet but all I can sugggest is try to connect SFTP using other client tool and make sure you are not getting the similar error.

     

    Thanks

    Hi and thanks for your reply, but using another tool doesn´t help if I want to use MS Flow...

    Hi @J-P,

     

    What I meant is try connecting using another tool and see if you are getting the similar error or not. This will give you a clear indication whether the error is related to flow only.

     

    Thanks
