A Qlik Web Connector to FTP or SFTP fails with: Access to path XXX is denied

 

Environment: 



 Resolution:


To give users more granularity and control in how the File System and Local Host is accessed via Qlik Web Connectors, changes can now be made to the Deploy.config file.

Source: Allow file system access for specified paths in Advanced configuration of Qlik Web Connectors.

 

To resolve:

  1. Close Web connector application if it's been opened already.
  2. Open deploy.config file in notepad 
  3. Specify the path/paths between the <FileSystemAccessAllowedPaths> tags.

    Examples: 

    To allow all paths
    <FileSystemAccessAllowedPaths>*</FileSystemAccessAllowedPaths>

    Allow a specific path
    <FileSystemAccessAllowedPaths>c:\QWC\TempFiles</FileSystemAccessAllowedPaths>

    Allow multiple paths:
    <FileSystemAccessAllowedPaths>c:\QWC\TempFiles;c:\Data</FileSystemAccessAllowedPaths>
  4. Save the file
  5. Start web connector and test it again.
