Data Copy to SFTP Destination Failing

Hello everyone,

I'm currently working on a project that requires sending a CSV file to an external SFTP server. I'm exploring different methods to accomplish this task, and I've decided to try using the Data Copy activity within a pipeline to see if it's feasible.

I've attempted two approaches. Initially, I created a temporary SFTP test server using Free SFTP server: online SFTP server for testing - SFTPCloud and established a connection to it. However, when I tested the connection, I encountered the error "An internal error has occurred." I conducted this test using my personal account, which only has a trial license, as I didn't want to expose my company to an unknown server.

Subsequently, I replicated the same process using my official account, which is associated with an F-64 subscription, and the official external SFTP credentials to which I'll need to send the file. Yet, I encountered the same error.

Could someone provide insights into what might be causing this issue? Any ideas on how to troubleshoot and establish a successful connection would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
