Posted on by 22

Hello Experts,

I  have some CSV files that need to be imported into Business Central Saas from a FTP location. How can this be achieved?

We know it can achieve using Power Automate. but is there any way to directly do in AL Extension code?

Thanks

    This is not possible directly through AL. 

    You could go using what is proposed here https://demiliani.com/2020/03/30/dynamics-365-business-central-saas-save-a-file-to-an-sftp-server/

    Because BC is on the cloud, there is no easy way for the cloud to know the FTP location. You need to go around to achieve this.
