I keep getting the error: "sftp file not found"
If you see the error "sftp file not found", it means the system is unable to locate the file you're trying to access or transfer. Here's how to troubleshoot it:
Steps to Fix the Error:
- Check the File Name
- Ensure the file name is spelled correctly. SFTP is case-sensitive, so double-check capital and lowercase letters.
- Verify the File Extension
- Confirm that the file format matches exactly what you're trying to access.
- If you're uploading a
.zip
file, make sure the file is actually saved as.zip
, not mistakenly as.ZIP
,.Zip
, or another format like.rar
. - For
.csv
files, confirm they are not saved as.txt
or another type.
- Ensure the File Exists in the Specified Directory
- Check that the file is located in the correct directory or path you're pointing to in your SFTP client.
- Check for Hidden Characters or Spaces
- File names copied from emails or documents may include hidden spaces or special characters. Try retyping the file name manually.
