Let’s see how this activity works.

1.      Create a new solution or open an existing solution.

2.      Drag and drop a “FTP” activity which acts as a scope for all the activities in this
feature.

a.      Double click on the activity.

b.      Enter the server name, UserID and password.

3.      Now, drag and drop an “Upload File” activity within the FTP scope.

a.      Double click on the activity.

b.      Specify the path of the file which has to be uploaded.

c.      We can also enter the file path directly in the property section.

Navigate to the property section.

4.      Enter the directory name to which the file has to be uploaded. Here it is “Indtest.”

5.      To see the success state of the activity, declare a variable in the result box of the output
section.

6.      Drag and drop a write log activity below the “Upload” activity and enter the above
declared variable with the extension “.ToString”. This is used to convert the “Boolean”
datatype to “String” datatype. For example, if we have a variable in the “Result” box as
UF, then we have to add “UF.ToString” here.

7.      Execute the workflow.
