Hi @Mahesh7225,

Is there a particular reason not to use the Read & Write snaps for manipulating files on FTP? If you decide to go through Python after all, you’ll need to use the ftplib library. You can find detailed information on how to use it on the following link:

ftplib — FTP protocol client

Regards,
Bojan

    Usually it is a syntax error in the SFTP path. It needs to follow the next convention:

    sftp://server-name/main-directory/sub-directory/file.txt

    If that is ok, re-check your account information.
