    Hi Yoshihiro,

     

    Following is the response I received from the File connector owner:

     

    "Potentially, there could be two known issues. Both of them belong to all file-based connectors:

     

    1. Filename and path: currently we are working on it. The plan is to return only metadata from the trigger and let users to get a content in a following action by Id. Some connectors, like FTP, already have additional parameter “include file content” for the trigger.

     

    1. File content: we faced a problem with “.txt” files with specific encoding like ISO-8859-1. In that case you can receive corrupted file’s content. You should use UTF-8 for the content encoding to avoid that or change file’s extension to “.bin”, for example, to preserve file’s content as is."

    It looks like on your side, you could try using UTF-8 for file content. Unfortunately, we may have to wait for the mentioned improvements before filename is fully supported.

     

    Best,

    HI @masisley thank you for your information.

     

    Filename / Path:

    I'm waiting to fix it.

     

    File content:

    I hope encoding option, th reason why a lot of case encoding is Shift-JIS in Japan.

     

    Regards.
