FTP Get File Content error with large file

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 5

I have a flow that works well until it tries to Get File Content for a 130MB file and I get the below error. Is there a file size limit, I have chunking on but cannot get past the error.

FTP Get File Content with the below error:

"status": 404,  "message": "The requested action could not be completed as the specified resource (file/folder) does not exist or is busy.\r\nclientRequestId: 348751ed-4a28-49b7-acd5-e6c368ff08f5",  "error": { "message": "The requested action could not be completed as the specified resource (file/folder) does not exist or is busy." },

    Not sure if the 100 MiB "Message" size limit for Power Automate still applies.  Back in the days that was the showstopper for doing anything meaningful with larger sharepoint files.

    I cannot find any info that says it shouldn't work other than that chunking may not work for all connectors its enabled for. I'm assuming then that the 100MB file limit is causing the error. I have now reverted to a powershell & winscp script to replace the flow.
