FTP Enterprise stage

[shilpa79]

I am using FTP eneterprise stage for the first time.

I am not sure whether the path which I am giving is correct or wrong
Error from dslog:
FTP_Stage: uri : ftp://68.666.6.666/XXX_ftpdev/datastage_test/s/file.xml is having following ftp errors.

In properties tab what should be in the connection:
ftp command = ? ( I have given ftp -u)
username = "xxxlabs\\\\cvx_ftpdev"

If I pass the same username from unix shellscript it wil take only 2 slashes and if I do it from ds its not working thats the reason my dsadmin told me to pass four slashes from ds and test it .

One more issue is if this one works then I have create another empty file with the same file name = file.xml.done indicating that the file was succesfully transfered to the other server.

before I used to do all these ftp stuff with shellscripts now they want me to implement everything through ds ftp stages.

I am not sure i can create a trigger file with this stage

can anyone let me know how does it works

Thanks,

You forgot to post the actual errors.

That's a devilish FTP site you're using!

In URL property, put
ftp://ftphostname[:port]/URIpath

In connection part, you can use username and password property to input username and password, and I will work.

URI
Type: Pathname
Name of the URI to get or put the file from or to.It can be more than one occurence. Supports limited wild carding. The expected syntax is ftp://hostname[:port]/URIpath

You have to put a space between "ftp://#IP#:21/" and "#DIR#/REMOTE_FILE.txt"

Code: Select all

ftp://#IP#:21/ #DIR#/REMOTE_FILE.txt

Good luck.

Hi,

Just wandering if the last suggestion provided any help: "You have to put a space between "ftp://#IP#:21/" and "#DIR#/REMOTE_FILE.txt" ".

I've tried but to no avail. I am getting the same error message "Not a valid remote file!" but the file is easily ftp-ed straight from the DataStage server?

Regards,

Novak
