@GovardhanReddy

I study this area few years ago but don’t have such environment now. I tried below option 1 and 2 are doable.

  1. Act like a human in winscp is doable: select file, click upload, etc.
  2. Type your action in command line refer to Command-line Options :: WinSCP.
  3. Use packages refer to Download a file from winscp - Help / Activities - UiPath Community Forum.

@GovardhanReddy

You can install the FTP package and use the Move File activity to move the file inside FTP Scope.
If using SFTP please select the SFTP checkbox in properties.

we strongly recommended to avoid simulating manual interaction steps, when it can be done with activties / APIs…

curently we only see again the same screenshot and cannot derive what modifications based on our input was done.

Before ending into a again more longer ping-pong series we recommend:

  • go through to all shared docu resources and make you familar with it
  • feel free to also checkout for other trainings e.g. youtube videos relating to FTP and UiPath

Happy Automation :robot:
