The Upload File Action transfers files from a folder on local machine to a directory on a remote server.
After the Upload File Action is completed, the information on its operations is temporarily stored in dynamic variables that can be retrieved by any other Action within the same Task via Variable Wizard. For example, these variables can be saved as text by Write to File Action, emailed to admin by Send Email Action or used as dynamic parameters in other Actions.
| Variable | Details |
|---|---|
| Local file | Returns the full path and file name of file on the local machine. |
| Remote file | Returns the full path and file name of uploaded file on the remote server. |
| List of local files | Returns the list of recently uploaded files on local machine. |
| List of remote files | Returns the list of files on the local machine that were uploaded. |
| Number of uploaded files | Returns the number of uploaded files. |
| Completion status | Retrieve Action execution status with a possible value—Successful or Failed. Or Empty, if Action has not been executed yet. |
| Adjust() | Streamline creation of Task workflows even further—instantly make quick variable adjustments such as in-place replacement (all, first, or last occurrence), trimming (whitespaces, quotes, etc.), or changing capitalization. Optionally, set a different display name. |
Automatic list processing…
The Upload File variables returned as lists (even multi-level) can be automatically processed in further Actions. Use the For Each Action to parse a given text string (any list variable) and sequentially retrieve its elements one by one · see list processing examples. Or, use the Split Text and Lookup Text Actions to access list elements by their indices.
