Hello guys,

I'm having trouble passing the input directory in configuration of ListFile Processor.

Says that directory is invalid or does not exist.

I want' to list files in my local file system in C drive and the folder is SNIRH.

Here is the pic:

I resolved my issue because in fact i have 3 environments, and i was ponting the listProcessor to the wrong environment.

I have my local file system Windows 8.1, with VirtualBox, running CentOS 7, and on top of CentOS i have the sandbox, and i was pointing my folder to the CentOS layer.

My /media/sf_SharedFolder was placed in CentOS and not in sandbox. I have to thank you for your help.

I am a little confused. Are you able to get a listing of the shared drive with ListFile?

@Wynner Not yet.. my shared folder in CentOS is: /media/sf_SharedFolder and still says directory not exist

@Francisco Pires

Are you able to get a listing from the command line?

What happens when you do ls -al /media/sf_SharedFolder ?

Replying your question

If you put that path, /media/sf_SharedFolder, in the Input Directory property for the ListFile processor, does it get a listing of files?

Still not working with that path in Input Directory

Try using one of the other directories to see if it works, like /var/logs. See if the processor will accept it.
