Hi all,
I recently started with PA. I would like to save attachment in a specific local folder in my device. As you can see from the screen, I think this would be the right flow.
my questions are:
1. I don't understand what is the username that I need to use. Is it my Microsoft my windows credential? because as I understood from the tutorials it has to be "Domain\username" and I don't have such a user name.
2. Can the flow work without the Gateway?
3. The folder is protected by a password. Will this be a problem for the flow?
Thank you.
Thank you this solved the issue.
Hi @chahine
Instead of F:
add the full path in the "Folder path" box and it should work.
Eg; \\server1\folder\.....
Go to your Map Network Drive and there you should get these details
This is how I have setup the On-Prem gateway in the past:
I usually restart the service before using it (or you could re-boot your PC 😧).
Then setup the File System connection as mentioned by @VJR

the flow works perfectly, when the file is located on the desktop (C:\....).
Actually the Folder where I want to save the attachments is not in (C:) but in another location lets say (F:). Of course I created new connection having a root folder (F:\....) so when I change the connection to that specific folder I have an error.
This looks to be a custom designed .Net application.
Check what happens when you try to connect to that folder using the File system connector.
Hi @VJR
thanks,
regarding 3. I can access to the entire folder only with password and I am afraid that will cause an issue for the flow. Of course I need to try it before.
Hi @chahine
1. Go to the Dos prompt and type whoami and press enter
Add that to the username box.
If you do not have a domain name (eg home computer) then use local credentials
2. Gateway is required to connect to the File system connector. I do not know if there is any other way.
3. How did you password protect a folder? Are you referring to a password protected zip file?
