Azure Logic Apps FTP file content

I'm using Azure Logic Apps to copy files from FTP to Blob Storage. I'm using the action "FTP - When a file is added or modified" and after this I copy the file content to a Blob Storage.

The problem is that the file is being copied to Blob Storage before it is completely added to the FTP, and I get partial files.

Is there any way to hold Azure Logic Apps such that it will only copy the file after it is completed?

You need to Enable the Include File Content Option.

You can do this in 2 ways.
1. Go to LogicAppDesigner->Expand your FTP-Trigger ->Set yes to Include File Content

Like this

enter image description here

  1. Go to Logic App Code View-> find the Trigger JSON- > Add "includeFileContent": true inside the "Queries"

This behavior happens when your FTP file system does not provide file locking. Similar behavior can occur when using the FTP-adapter in BizTalk.

In BizTalk, the best way to handle this is by modifying the client that is creating the file on FTP so that it uses temporary filenames.

  • Client creates file ftpFile.tmp
  • Client writes file content
  • Client renames ftpFile.tmp to ftpFile.xml or whatever extension is needed
  • BizTalk only picks up files with extension .xml

Major problem for me with the Logic Apps FTP connector is that you can't specify a file mask in the designer when using the connector as a trigger, which is strange, because i remember that option being available in the first version of logic apps.
