Hi I would like to using FLOW to run a batch file from a server. What would be the best option to create the connection as connector to run the file?


Thank you.

    Hi @PAUser70,

     

    Could you please provide more details about your requirement?

    • Where are these files stored in? 
    • How do you want the batch files to run? Copy them or send an email with them or something else?

    Best Regards,

    Hi,

     

    I just want to test out if I can run a batch file like "HelloWorld" from my local machine. If it works, I may setup to run from an enterprise server.

     

    Would there be any FLOW connector I can use?

     

    Thank you.

    Hi @PAUser70,

     

    Maybe the File system could help you: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/connectors/filesystem/

    It can connect to File Systems on your local or network machines to read from and write to files using the On-Premises Data Gateway.
