choosing a linux filepath from a job created in windows

Hello everyone, I've recently made a job to process customer data that will be running in an ec2 intance to be ran consistently using cron jobs. I've been having an issue in that when I define the filepath from the windows directory it is able to be processed no problems. However when I change the input filepath to a context variable where the filepath is directed in linux it doesn't process the file. I'm trying to run the job on the ubuntu server so I would think that having the filepath defined in context variable would allow for the input to be grabbed and processed?

I've posted some pictures to better describe my problem, any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Hi

When you set the parameter with context variable and define a default value, it will use this default value unless reloading the value from somewhere in the beginning of job.

What's the problem when you run the job on Ubuntu server, could not find the file? Maybe you don't set a correct file path?
