HI,

Clarify is it on your Xi server or remote server.

as explained above if it is XI server , the use the folder name with shard path.

else if it is remote server then use FTP instead of NFS.

see the below links

Hi Jaya,

The file adapter is only used for picking files on the XI server itself. If 172.27.34.250 is your XI server, the just put /sender. If 172.27.34.250 is another server, you have to choose another communication channel type, such as ftp.

Please reward if this helps,

Hi,

You need a FTP server for this.

When you use NFS , the file adapter can pick fileso nly on its own local folders. It cannot pick files from folders of another machines.

To understand how to use FTP server on etc, check this blog,

in case you have FTP in use mostly the root is defined as /

Do go thru this blog to know more about how to configure an FTP and how to refer the path in XI.
