Hi experts,

I have having a use case where I have to send the FTP files to NetSuite File Cabinet, but I am not able to write any files to the file cabinet.

Can anybody tell me how to send the file from FTP to NetSuite file cabinet?

Thanks,

- Export FTP. Use "Parse files being Transferred" as "No"
- Export gives you a blobKey for the exported file. This data looks something like this
- {  
"success": true,  
"fileMeta": {  
"fileName": "combined.pdf",  
"lastModifiedTime": 1636586398000  
},  
**"blobKey"** : "717a84e9ac4249268b8b352018d1af72"  
}
- Create the NS Import with below configuration, specifying the path to the "blobKey" from step 1.
- 

- Run the flow, and verify file is transferred to the NS folder mentioned on the import step

Thanks @bhushanrane for replying.

I tried the above approach and error popped up saying "The specified internal id is not allowed" . Below is the screenshot.

Not sure what is reason here, I tried giving different folder Ids still seeing the same error. Can you please tell me what could be the issue here?

Does the user/role on your connection have access write permissions on those folders?

@bhushanrane

Below are my permissions, I can add/write the file from UI using the role.

I am in the process to attempt to do the same thing of transferring an file (any format) from FTP folder into NetSuite. I notice that Chirag was having issues.

There are any easy steps to accomplish this?

Thank you!

Hi @gabrieljarillosoto -  
The recommendation from our Support team is to use the following quickstart template available in the Celigo Marketplace:  
[NetSuite - FTP template](https://integrator.io/marketplace/ftp/installTemplate/preview/5d77a921267e4b7074525e40)

Thanks,  
Kate

@katelarson

I have downloaded the template and am trying to pull files from a folder in Netsuite onto an FTP folder. The temple is using a saved search to pull a folder with files in it. Is there anyway to have an example of a saved search that is accomplishing this? I've tried a couple but haven't been able recreate one that works with this sample. Thanks!

Hi @timtrimble

NetSuite saved search should be created on a Folder and it should return _File : Internal Id_ and _File : Name_ of the files to be exported from the target folder.

Please refer to screenshots below.

Kindly notice the custom label _ **file\_id** _ and _ **file\_name** _, use the same label on your saved search as they are used in subsequent steps. The file\_id is used to extract the file and the file\_name is used while importing the files in FTP, you will find them under File Fields ... join option in saved search.

Hello,

Alternatively, The Doc [here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WDq2Uv9Yq4JGtQoreNfc-h5uIwao-5OGhkNtUT1oP_c/edit), can help to have the Saved search installed. Feel free to use the bundle for the quick setup :).

Thanks!

Was there a solution to the original post from [@bhushanrane](https://docs.celigo.com/hc/en-us/profiles/<a class=)-Bhushan-Rane" rel="nofollow noreferrer"\> **Bhushan Rane****?** Having the same “The specified internal id is not allowed” error and permission are set to full as well.
