Remote file renaming/moving

Hi,

I have a requirement to push a file to SFTP server. But since the file is quite large and to avoid race condition (we writing and remote function reading at the same time) we like to write the file with different extension or to a temp folder in remote server and them rename or move the file at the server.

None for the File snaps support these feature. Could you please help me identify a way around to address above problem.

Thank you so much!🙂

Why can’t you write with a .temp extension and use a python script to rename/move to the desired location?

Hi,

One of your colleague directed me in this way, technically it does work. But it isn’t straight forward for “Citizen Integrator”. If the file writer Snap can have a check box “Use .temp while uploading” would be more simple solution.
