Hi Tim, 

GetFile Fetch the files from the local file system. We cannot fetch the data from the network folder.  

  

As an alternate solution, we have “GetFTP” and “PutFTP” processor to connect with remote FTP folders.

Hi Thanks for your reply.

For example, if the remote server that I am trying to get the file from has an IP address of 185.181.7.38  and the file i am trying to retrieve is in 

D:\NEWData\FilesReceived\ftpfile.xls

how would I complete the connection details in the FetchFTP configuration section?

Many thanks for your help

Tim
