Flow issues with SFTP

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 2

Not sure if anyone is having this problem, but this just started for me today.  I have a group of Flows that are already created, and the account has several connections already established (SFTP - SSH, SharePoint, etc.).

 

Today, I was working on a new job for an SFTP file upload.  I noticed that I was unable to create the "SFTP - SSH" step using an existing connection.  I thought that was odd, so I went through, followed the prompts, and I tried to re-create the connection.  This failed every time.  Note that existing Flows run and can connect to the SFTP site.

 

As a workaround, I went into one of my existing flows, and I copied the "Create file via SFTP SSH" step from that Flow to my clipboard in Flow, which is currently in preview.  I was able to bring that step into my new flow using that method.

 

Anyone else experiencing this?  It seems that there's currently a bug in the SFTP implementation within Flow.

 

Thanks.

    Replying to my own post here.

     

    It appears that my old connections are "SFTP", and not the newer "SFTP - SSH" type.  SFTP is on the road to being deprecated, and it has been replaced by SFTP - SSH.  Information on making connections can be found here:

     

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/connectors/connectors-sftp-ssh#convert-to-openssh

     

    Everything works.

    Hi @rbottiglieri,

     

    I have never met the same issue as yours, I think it should be caused by the connection are not match. I noticed that your Old connection is SFTP, but the new connection is SFTP - SSH, the Key is different, and the connection should recreate. Instead, you can create a new connection by clicking the Add new connection button instead of coping action.
