Hi,
I'm trying to get files from unix with ftp-adapter, but it doesn't work.
It seems that the ftp-adapter doesn't find the files from folder, even they
are there.
I have tied to restart Biztalk Host but it did not help.
The logs shows that in unix environment the LIST command dont find anything.

Can anyone help me with this problem?

Here is the adapter log :

< 220 zebrano FTP server (Version 1.1.214.4(PHNE_23950) Tue May 22 05:49:01
GMT 2001) ready.

< 200 PORT command successful.

Here is another log from Windows environment that works :

Hi McGeeky,

What do you mean by "flawour".
I am not familiar with unix platforms.
In this case it is customers unix.

In ftplog file are these informations :

"zebrano FTP server (Version 1.1.214.4(PHNE_23950)" and
"UNIX Type: L8"

Are they any help for you?

Only that I know some have FTP servers that don't seem to be fully FTP
compliant. For example, although not a flavour of Unix, we have had major
problems connecting to an FTP server running on OpenVMS. It returns a file
listing in an unusual format. It is not even compliant with a standard FTP
client such as Bulletproof FTP. To resolve this we are having to upgrade the
FTP server version on OpenVMS. We are for

Have you checked yet whether you can access their system with an FTP client
such as Bulletproof or Reflection?

If not then you should inform your customer that their FTP server is not
compliant and suggest to them to use an alternative.

I have not heard of Zebrano FTP server.

Thanks for reply.

I have tested the ftp download with Windows operation systems ftp client
from Biztalk Server machine.
And it's working fine.
I can pick up files to pc with that client and same username and password.

So It can't be any access right problem.

Any other Ideas?

Jari

What is "Windows operation systems ftp client"? Are you referring to the one
in internet explorer or the command line version?

My only other suggestion is to try Bulletproof FTP just to be sure. You can
download a free 30 day trial.

One other thing to double check is that you have the FTP adapter settings
configured correctly. Perhaps its a simple typo?

HI,
yes I ment command line version.
I'm quit sure that there is no typo, because I've got proper ftplog where
all information is correct.

I try to download some evaluation version of ftp client and test with it.
Let's see what happens.

Thanks for replies.

What are the permissions on the file/folder on the Unix Server?  ie:  Does
the user you are connecting to the FTP Server as have the needed
permissions to list files in the folder, read files from that folder and
delete files from that folder.  If the user you are connecting to the FTP
Server as doesn't have the right permissions, this could lead to you not
being able to see the file.

Try this from your windows box:
1) go to the command prompt.
2) type: ftp <unix server>
3) login as the user your adapter is configured to use
4) change to correct directory and look for the files.

If you can't see them, then I am guessing it's a permission thing.

Note: I am by no means a Unix expert but going from what issues I've
encountered, that would be the first place I would check.

Hi Craig,

I have checked getting files with command line ftp client with same username
and password.
And it went well. I could get files from site.

This makes it little bit difficult and intresting.
Why can't Biztalk Ftp-Adapter read files from site?

Best regards

Jari

Hi,
Does the BizTalk Server Service user account have RW permissions over the
remote FTP ?
If this does not work try using a SSO with an Affiliate Application (Check
SSO SDK documentation).
