Blue Prism supports FTP and SFTP ?

Hi Team, Does Blue Prism supports FTP and SFTP? If so how can we do it. Please share related documents too. Many thanks in advance.

It's not natively supported but you can do it with a code stage. FTP is easy enough because it's part of the .Net framework, but SFTP requires additional libraries.   https://portal.blueprism.com/forums/technical-queries/general/ftp

Simply create an object to operate an FTP client?

If your intent is to use SFTP you can use external open source like WINSCP. WINSCP comes with standalone exe and dll that can be referenced and used in your vb or C# code stage.

Hi,
I you have managed to use the WinSCP DLL file from a basic WinSCP installation (like they would do on a customer server), could you share the details on how you add it to Blue Prism?

I have only seen solutions where the DLL needs to be copied to Blue Prism's folder (which requires admin rights) or it needs to be installed in GAC, which also has special requirements and isn't recommended for production use. It would be ideal to just include the DLL from its default installation directory and use it in C#. Thank you!
