FTP error

[Yvonne Gaffney]

I am taking an hl7 message and splitting it into two separate flat files and then FTPing those files to a server.  I have the Cloverleaf set up to send to the server via separate FTP threads and the only difference is the file name I am dropping the data into.  The server does not seem to like this as one of the two threads will error since the files are going over about the same time.  Any suggestions on how to prevent the thread from erring?

Yvonne,

I am not sure if this applies, but I would make sure the connections are in Passive mode (make sure the ‘ACTIVE Mode’ check box is not checked on the FTP Options container of the FTP Options Tab of the Fileset/FTP Protocol configuration).

Confirmed that the “ACTIVE” was not checked.  Any other suggestions?

Yvonne,

No that was a shot in the dark.

Are both files going to the same directory?

It appears like when the FTP Server is trying to give a response (like the all done) the problem is happening.

What release of Cloverleaf?

Have you tried to simulate the situation from command line ftp?

Curl error 56 is a network failure

It should not matter to the FTP host if you have two separate connections as each will be assigned a separate data port.  It is the same as two peple signed in FTP at the same time.

You may want to ask the Network people on the host to take a look.

If you do try to simulate from the command line as Jim suggests, open two windows and FTP to host and directory from each. Try to send a file from both at the same time.

Wierd problem you may need a sniffer.  Wireshark is good

BTW, since this is HL7 data I assume you are sending in binary mode?
