SftpPathNotFound

I configured a linked service using sftp. I am able to browse the files under the sftp server and preview their data from my dataset. When i try to copy the files from the sftp to a container in a storage account, i get the below error:

_ErrorCode=SftpPathNotFound,'Type=Microsoft.DataTransfer.Common.Shared.HybridDeliveryException,Message=Can't find SFTP path '/ABC/Reception/xxxxxxxx.xxx.xxxx.xxxx.xxx.xxxx.xxxxx.xxxxxxxx'. Please check if the path exists. If the path you configured does not start with '/', note it is a relative path under the given user's default folder '/'.,Source=Microsoft.DataTransfer.ClientLibrary.SftpConnector,''Type=Renci.SshNet.Common.SftpPathNotFoundException,Message=No such file,Source=Renci.SshNet,'_

Any advice on how to solve this problem?
