sharepoint to ftp, including subfolders

[cfebvre]

Hi all,

I'm trying to create a flow the triggers when a file is created (or modified) in a Sharepoint Document library (including a variety of subfolders that will change), and copied (or updated) into the same folder structure in an FTP location (that will mirror the folder structure of Sharepoint).

I''ve followed instructions from a previous post about this, but to no avail.

https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Using-Flows/Sharepoint-Flow-Create-a-folder-on-FTP-server/td-p/7...

My Flow stucture is below.

The result returned with this flow structure is:

My FTP connection is working. And I experience no issues when I create a trigger that copies a file from a specific Sharepoint folder to a specific FTP folder - it works without a hitch.

I gather the user in the post I reference got this to work, so I'm thinking it's possible, but I can't see what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @cfebvre,

Could you please share a full screenshot of the configuration of your flow?

The run details of your flow that you provided indicate that the "When a file is created or modified (properties only)" is skipped.

Please share more details about your flow so we would try to provide a proper workaround for you.

Best regards,

Alice

Hi Alice,

Thanks very much for your response. I've managed to get this working now.

All I needed to do was match the folder structure in my FTP and the Sharepoint Library.

In other words, the ftp folder structure needs to begin with:

/Shared Documents/General/

After which, I believe you can set up whatever configuration of subfolders you like - my subfolders are divided into weeks of the year.

This means that my client can upload a file into the 'Week 22' subfolder on Sharepoint, and it will now automatically download to 'Week 22' on their network drive.

I'm not sure exactly why the Flow intially skipped the first step, but that issue resolved itself after a few hours.

Now all I need to work out is how to have files go in the opposite direction - from FTP to Sharepoint. I'm close, but not quite there yet.

Hello

did you manage to do from FTP to SharePoint?

I can, but it does not copy files stored into subfolders or does not create subfolders if created in the FTP site.

Any help will be highly appreciated!

I experience the same issue where it doesn't create the subfolders. Would be nice if this was a possibility.
