SFTP-SSH Create File - Large File

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 22

Hello - 

 

I have a flow where I'm extracting information from a Power BI Paginated report and then want to upload that information to and SFPT site via the SFPT-SSH Create File action. The file is a CSV file.

 

Even after enabling Chunking, the upload CRAWLS and eventually just errors out and kills the flow. 

 

Has anyone come up with a work around for this chunking nightmare? Various documentation seems to indicate I may be able to adjust the chunk size but I've not been able to find it within the connector/action settings. 

 

I'm to the point now of wondering if I should upload three distinct "create file" actions. I hate to do that, as it will create additional work on the other end of the person receiving the file, but in order to automate fully, I'm not seeing another way.

 

Hoping I'm maybe just missing something obvious. Any guidance/direction you have in uploading large files would be very appreciated.  All in, the file I'm trying to upload is only 13MB, so I'm not sure why I'm having such an issue.

    Did you ever find a fix or workaround for this?  I'm running into this as well.

    I didn't - the best I was able to do was change the nature of the file being uploaded. Originally it was a full pull and upload every time. Now, after an initial load, each week we're just uploading smaller delta files.. which has helped a ton. Hopefully that helps you in your case!
