Hi,

I have a requirement where I have to connect Business Central to SFTP server. I chose the logic app approach which worked fine till the time the directories were permanent.

Now, they have switched the directories to be virtual. And now when I send any file, I am unable to get any response if my file is uploaded or not. Also, my files vanish as soon as the file reaches the virtual path. I do not get any error that says upload failed or anything, but I do not get the success message either.

I also made the connection via Filezilla and WinSCP, using them too I wasn't able to see neither any folder nor any files apart from the root folder.

Has anyone worked on virtual paths, if yes, am I missing anything?

Also, in my logic app, I have used Create File and List Files in Folders triggers in SFTP-SSH.

Any kind of help is welcome.

Unable to retrieve files from SFTP server's virtual paths/directories using Logic Apps

Hi,

I was able to solve my problem so answering it in the forum.

Reading files via Logic Apps from an SFTP server isn’t supported when the paths are virtual. In such cases, Logic Apps cannot list or read files because the SFTP connector expects a physical directory structure.

We had a similar situation — and switching to Azure Functions solved it.

We can still upload files into virtual folders using Logic Apps, but we won’t be able to read or poll response files that appear in those virtual paths.
