Hey @VimalrajMoorthi check these topics first: > [@FTP - Enumerate Object Activity Giving Error](https://forum.uipath.com/t/ftp-enumerate-object-activity-giving-error/764742): > > I am automating the process of downloading/uploading files from an FTP server. I am using an FTP activity, and the FTP session was connected to the Directory Exist activity first, and I got the correct response. I need to iterate through each file in the directory, so I used Enumerate Objects and its giving below error. “Enumerate Objects: One or more errors occurred. (Unsupported object type encountered.)” Any help is much appreciated > [@'Enumerate Object' activity under FTP package is not working](https://forum.uipath.com/t/enumerate-object-activity-under-ftp-package-is-not-working/114710/5): > > Sorry for late response. I was checking your issue. Finally seems that during installation of FTP package a UiPath.FTP name space have not installed automatically. Please go to Imports tab, then type “UiPath.FTP” and click it. [image] This should eliminate the error with variable. ---

Hi @VimalrajMoorthi Could you please share what server you are using? As you will see in my comment below, we struggle a bit to reproduce this: > [@FTP - Enumerate Object Activity Giving Error](https://forum.uipath.com/t/ftp-enumerate-object-activity-giving-error/764742/9): > > @anoop.mohandas Do you happen to know what is your FTP server hosted on? Is it a Windows or a Linux server? And what would be the provider? I am trying to reproduce this and the only way I can is by using a Linux server and a file type that isn’t supported, so not a file, not a directory and not a syslink. I was not able to reproduce this on a Windows server yet, but I would assume that the reason is the same. Currently the FTP activity package only supports the following types of objects: n… The activity supports by default Files, Directories and Links, and anything other than this that is present in the folder will throw this error. It would help us a lot to understand what objects could be causing this, but the information gather so far suggest that it only occurs for some specific type of SFTP servers. ---

I created a new folder and placed a sample text file in the folder. still it is throwing same error. ---

This means that there is something else that is unique about your setup that this activity cannot handle. Would you be able to share the name and the version of your SFTP server (is it SFTP?), and some details whether it is a Windows or a Linux one, and hopefully also a view of the folders and their permissions? (maybe via a third party tool) ---

If you access to this FTP/SFTP server using a client (for example Filezilla or WinSCP) and same credentials. Are you able to list the content of the target folder? ---
