I've been trying to get a flow that will grab all files with a folder from an external FTP server and place within a folder in Sharepoint. So far it has been a struggle. I was able to find one that is close to what Im looking for but get and error when on the last step of the flow. I have attached an image of the current flow I'm working with.
So far not much luck trying to get that to work. I also tried another method but this only works when I run a test and not automatically. Here is that flow
If there is any advice on what I can do to get this working that would be amazing!
Try editing the flow so that it has only one Apply to each loop:
For the trigger When a file is added or modified, the trigger does not fire if a file is added/updated in a subfolder.

Thanks for the reply and tip. I've tried adding a step straight from "get file content" section but when I try to populate file name in the "create file" section it adds the second loop automatically. Am I doing something wrong?
Here is an other example of a working flow. It lists files from an FTP site, and saves files that are of type text to a SharePoint site:
Can you try using the Display Name from the dynamic content (although Name should work fine)?

I created a flow similar to the one you last posted and got an error when at the apply to each step. Here is the error I received:
Here is the flow I made that is similar to your except using a recurring trigger.
I am using Box.com to FTP from so not sure if that could be causing the error but I haven't had issue normally FTPing into it. Any advice on why the apply to each is erroring?
Have you run this and it worked successfully?
Yes, the flow runs fine as along I remember to delete the files from SharePoint before re-running:
If you want to try out the same flow, the site and connection I am using for demo flow is:
Username – anonymous
Password – your complete email address (e.g. yourname@yourname.com) or just use anonymous.
