Flow issues with SFTP

Posted on by rbottiglieri

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 SFTP is on the road to being deprecated, and it has been replaced by SFTP - SSH.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.
