FTP Receiver without directory change

Former Member

Hello,

we have to upload data to an FTP server which does not allow directory changes. Problem is that the directory field in the FTP receiver communication channel is mandatory so we get an error message.

Is there any workaround for this?

Thank you.

Try to use a dot (.) as directory (means current directory).

what is the error you are getting?

Try to create a FTP user that has the root login configured to the target directory so that there is no directory change operation

Hi,

we cannot create users, it is an external FTP server of our partner. After login the correct directory is already selected. Still, the directory field is mandatory in the channel which obviously causes the error.
