Upload File
Description
Uploads the contents of a file reference to the remote server.
Prerequisites
Create and test a SFTP connection with access to the remote paths used by the activity. Paths identify locations on that server, not on the workflow host.
Shared settings
Select Connection Name. Use Process Data for dynamic path values. Configure execution control and On Error as required.
Inputs
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| File Reference | Required file output from an upstream activity, including files from another supported storage provider. |
| Remote Path | Required destination file path or directory path without an extension. |
| Overwrite | Replace a conflicting destination file; otherwise report an error. |
| Create Missing Directories | Create missing destination parent directories. |
Outputs
Uploaded File: reference to the uploaded remote file. The source file is unchanged.
Behavior
If Remote Path has no extension, it is treated as a directory and the source filename is appended. A full destination filename avoids ambiguity.
Example
Bind an upstream File output to File Reference and set Remote Path to /uploads/orders.csv. Choose Overwrite explicitly, then pass Uploaded File to the next file-consuming activity.
