SFTP Get Default Directory
The SFTP Get Default Directory activity retrieves the name of the current remote directory. The default remote directory is operating system-dependent and determined by the remote SFTP server. On UNIX systems, the default remote directory is usually the home directory of the user account that is used to establish an SFTP connection. The current remote directory may be different from the default directory. When SFTP Change Default Directory activity is used to change the default directory in the same session, it returns the currently set remote directory path.
General
The General tab has the following fields.
| Field | Literal Value/Module Property | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Name | No | The name to be displayed as the label for the activity in the process. |
| SFTP Connection | Yes |
The path to the shared configuration resource containing the user information such as Host, Port, and User Name, Private Key or Password, and Known Host File. For configuration details, refer to SFTP Connection. |
| Quit (post-command) | No | When this check box is selected, it specifies that the SFTP Connection should be closed after completing this command.
If this check box is not selected, the SFTP Connection remains open so that all SFTP activities specifying the same SFTP Connection, (that is, the same host, port, and username) share the existing SFTP session until the connection is closed. |
