Hello-

I'm trying to connect to an ftp server and switch directories.  I must
be totally missing something - it seems like my BEFORE GET just doesn't
do anything.   Here is the directory structure:

Root
--Inbound
--Outbound

When I log in I am placed into the outbound folder.  I really need to
get to the inbound folder.  So I placed CDUP in the Before Get of the
ftp adapter but it kind of seems like it just ignores whatever I put in
there.  Here is the ftp log:

220 CONNECT:Enterprise Gateway 2.0.02. 16 FTP Server ready...  11:20:38
03-08-2006
USER SZQ0XFTO
331 Password required for SZQ0XFTO.
PASS xxxx
230 User SZQ0XFTO logged in. Session Id: 14050.
PWD
257 "SZQ0XFTO" is the current working Mailbox ID.
SYST
502 Command not implemented.
QUIT
221 Goodbye.

Does anybody have an idea what I could be doing wrong?  It doesn't
matter what command(s) I put in the before or after get - this is the
log all the time.  This isn't the first customer I've had this problem
with.  The other ones I just wrote .bat files to pull the files but I'd
really like to do it internally in Biztalk.

Thanks-

pfeifest.

To change directories with the FTP adapter you do not need to issue your own
CDUP command.
Just put the required directory in the Folder property and the FTP adapter
will do the CDUP for you.

However, it would appear that your problem is not related to changing
directories.
It would appear the FTP Server you are connecting to does not support the
SYST command

Syntax: SYST
Returns a word identifying the system, the word "Type:", and the default
transfer type (as would be set by the TYPE command). For example: UNIX Type:
L8

What is the remote system that you are connecting to?
