Get Attachment Access Denied

I am trying to drop the attachment from my form out to the file system using the GetAttachment function in the Visual Scripting tool.

I have granted permission to EVERYONEbut get an access denied message:

Failed to execute deployed method 'WhenActionCompleted', using entity 'Submit'. Exception 'Access to the path 'C:\FileDrop' is denied.' occured when attempting to 'Execute workflow '04ca87fc-c528-492f-879a-aad3df708566". Access to the path 'C:\FileDrop' is denied.

Here is the VisualScript configuration (BTW: can someone show me how to call the file generically since the file name could be anything?):

Folder ID: ProcessContext.FolderID

File Name: "Hotel-2010-5-19.JPG"

File Path: "C:/FileDrop"

Hi,

file name parameter is the name of file that you added to the process ( you can have more than one attachment in the process and you have to show which one you want to get)

file path parameter is path with file name e.g. "c:/FileDrop/Hotel-2010-5-19.jpg"

and that should works.

what do you mean call file genericaly?

Thank you Milosz, This worked. As for what I meant when I said "Generic" I meant not hard coding the file name in the parameter.

The name of the file that is attached to a single attachment clip is stored in the variable associated with the attachment control.

For multi-attachment controls (in v7.x, haven't tried this in v9.0) this is not the case. To get the names of the files attached, you needed to query the eAttachment table.
