Hi @loginerror

Thank you so much for your Kind reply. But still i wonder, why many face issues with this activity “Upload Files”, the one which i referred in our forum like,

1. FTP Upload Activity does not work
2. Upload FTP activity don't work
3. Unable to download/upload files from/to FTP server - #8 by Francisco_Benavides
4. FTP Upload doesn't work - #13 by Gabriel_Tatu,

,…still many out there

–The reason is, the upload activity works fine starting from test connection and bot completes without any error. But the file didn’t get uploaded, i m using 2018.3 version of studio and FTP package of version 1.0.6710.16240. From either side, as per our forum people suggestion, i tried to mention the absolute path in local path and relative path in remote path. Still didn’t work. That’s why i had this doubt, whether the upload file activity replacement in our community feed has any impact on this… Kindly help in resolving this, which would be very helpful for many of us…Thanks in advance…!
