Getting error with spark-sftp, no such file

[andreas9898]

In a databricks cluster with Scala 2.1.1 I am trying to read a file into a spark data frame using the following code.

val df = spark.read
  .format("com.springml.spark.sftp")
  .option("host", "*")
  .option("username", "*")
  .option("password", "*")
  .option("fileType", "csv")
  .option("delimiter", ";")
  .option("inferSchema", "true")
  .load("/my_file.csv")

However, I get the following error

org.apache.spark.sql.AnalysisException: Path does not exist: dbfs:/local_disk0/tmp/my_file.csv;

I think I need to load the file from a temporary locationbut, I can't find that path and a way to do so. Can anyone help with that?

Hi @Andreas P​ , could you please run the below command and see if you can list the file?

import os
os.listdir('/dbfs/tmp')

Please refer: https://docs.databricks.com/files/index.html#access-files-on-the-driver-filesystem

What distribution is that? I remember that it hasn't worked on the community edition in the past due to a lack of access to the underlying system. Also, there can be differences between single/standard clusters and high concurrency/shared ones.
