Error occured while creating a mount smb:///

I am encountering a error with my file writer snap while trying to write to a file share on a different server. The error is as follows: Error occured while creating a mount smb:///.
I dont think this is a permissions issue as I have granted access to the account I am using on the server I am trying to write to. That got me past an access denied error that I had encountered earlier in testing.
I am also open to any suggestions you may have to help me better troubleshoot.
Thank you for any help in advance, it is greatly appreciated!

I’m wondering if it doesn’t like the colons in the time of the date format and an error is not being displayed. What if you replaced Date.now() with Date.now().toLocaleDateString({“timeZone”:“PST”, “format”:“yyyy-MM-dd”}) ?

Good day,

I’m having a similar issue, I’m trying to write pdf files using a File Writer snap to a shared location, should I be using the file or the smb protocols? I tried both but unable to get it to work.

However the file gives a message saying it’s overwritten but the files are not in the folder, see below:

Thanks much.

Hi all, I got this to work. Thanks.

That was the issue!
I actually had to remove “timeZone”:“PST”, from the expression to get it to work but that allowed me to create the file. Thank you very much!
