How to upload a xml file to SFTP server from BC Cloud

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Dynamics 635 Forum 45

I have used Azure Function to upload a xml file to SFTP Server from BC Cloud by referring the code snippet available in below URL,

https://demiliani.com/2020/03/30/dynamics-365-business-central-saas-save-a-file-to-an-sftp-server/

But I am unable to identify the libraries or dependencies to be added in VS Code in order to make the code to execute.

Can anyone suggest the steps to be followed in order to execute the code such that the xml file should be uploaded to SFTP Server from BC Cloud ?

    Hello,

    We currently do not have dedicated Dev support via the Dynamics 365 Business Central forums, but I wanted to provide you some additional resources to assist. If you need assistance with debugging or coding I would recommend discussing this on one of our communities.

    I will open this up to the community in case they have something to add. Hopefully Stefano Demiliani can add value. 

    Thanks.

    If you are in BC 19 or BC 20 you should use the native http client i AL to trigger your Azure function.

    Where we do this i send the xml file as http contest to my Azure function and let the Azure function handle the S-FTP part of the transaction.

    But we wrote our own Azure function we did not use the one in Demilliani's blog.

    To use the http client i AL you do not need any additional libraries or app dependencies.

    Just for clarification on a topic asked on lots of threads here: this post

    demiliani.com/.../

    exaplains a solution that uses an Azure Functions that you can trigger from AL in order to save a file on blob storage and then send it to an SFTP server.

    Today (in BC 20) you can do the same things without using Azure Functions. BC has native support for uploading files to Azure Blob Storage via AL. Save the file here and then use Logic Apps/Power Automate to send the uploaded file to SFTP. Full low code approach in few clicks.

    If you check my latest session on Aeropa, you will find the solution.
