SFTP - SSH Download file OR Extract Archive

Posted on by 10

Hello all -

 

I am hoping someone can point me in a direction here.  I am looking to set up a power automate flow to trigger when a new file is uploaded to an SFTP site and do one of the following:

-  Extract the archive file to a directory on the SFTP site. 

-  Get the content of the file

-  Send content to a team channel

 

The problem I am running into is that my archive file is not a zip.  It is a .gz file.  I don't believe the "Expand archive to a folder" action does not handle .gz files

 

I have considered attempting to download the file to an on-prem server, extracting it and posting the content to teams in this manner - but it certainly seems less elegant.  

 

Any thoughts on the best way to accomplish this?

Thanks

Steve
