Retrieve data from Window server

Hi ServiceNow Community,

I'm looking for guidance on how to fetch attachments data stored in JSON file from FTP Windows Server (Windows OS) through a Linux-based MID Server in ServiceNow. Specifically:

  1.  Is it even possible to use REST API to retrieve these files given the MID Server runs on Linux? If yes, what would be the recommended implementation approach?

  2. If REST API isn't feasible, what other integration methods would you suggest?

  3. I have tried Data source but encountered errors.

Constraints:

  • Cannot install additional software on the Windows Server.

I'd appreciate any insights, especially from those who have implemented similar integrations. Code samples or architecture recommendations would be particularly helpful.

Thank you in advance for your expertise!

 

Regards,

Rahul

@Rahul Eashwar,

It's an FTP server right?  Why not use FTP?

Discovery could probably do it but you would need a Windows MID Server.
