AS/400 and BizTalk FTP Adapter
|

| I'm trying to upload a file to AS/400 using the BizTalk 2004's built in
FTP adapter. The error I am getting is following
[quote]
The adapter failed to transmit message going to send port
"ftp://<server_ip>:21/FTPTest%MessageID%.xml". It will be retransmitted
after the retry interval specified for this Send Port. Details:"The
remote server refused a data connection, check permissions on the
remote system ".
[end quote]
AS/400 is running the FTP server and the account I am using to connect
to it does have write permissions. When I connect to the FTP server
using the command line FTP tool from WindowsXP, I can get the files and
put files. But when I try to use the same FTP server using IE, it does
not let me put (write) any files. So I guess that the FTP server is a
bit different than IIS...
MS documentation says that the BizTalk 2004 should be able to use the
built in server in OS/400 V5R1. The server I am using is the built in
one, just the OS release is V5R3. So, my questions is:
* Is the FTP server in V5R3 that much different than the one in V5R1?
* Doe's BizTalk Server 2005 not support FTP servers in releases later
than V5R1? My intuition says that the requirement probably will be to
have a minimum of V5R1 but the later releases should be supported.
* Is there any work around to my situation?
Any help is greatly appreciated

Although you don't get this error on the send port, you do get it on
the
receive - are you using Passive mode for your firewall to the FTP
server
(assuming of course that there is a firewall)?

| Thanks for the reply Billa. I have checked for the FTP mode and that
was not my problem as both by server and the BizTalk transfer are using
the same mode.
The problem was with the file name. OS/400 has a lot more restrictions
on file names than windows and I was not aware of those. The file name
that I was trying to transfer was not acceptable to the OS/400 and the
real problem was that the FTP server or BizTalk FTP adapter were not
giving me the correct error. I was just getting a general error
