FTP – thread to pull doesn’t attempt to connect

[Tom Patton]

I’ve been staring at this for too long – tried so many things and still can’t get this working – so I hope you can see something I am not seeing.

I have an inbound thread (ftp-fileset) that will not attempt to open the connection.

I have the following EO config:

fset * * *

But the log doesn’t show any attempt to open the connection:

mostly what I get is:

[pti :sche:INFO/2:   dci_rslt_t] Performing apply callback for thread 4

last msg in log is:

[pti :sche:INFO/0: log_rtif_cmd] Scheduler blocking forever

Any thoughts as to why I can’t see an attempt to open the connection?

Thanks in advance.

The following is the NetConfig:

protocol dci_rslt_t {

  { AUTOSTART 1 }

  { BITMAP genericSite.xbm }

  { COORDS {0 0} }

  { DATAFORMAT {

      { FRLTYPE offlen }

      { OFFLEN {

          { LEN 0 }

          { OFF 0 }

      } }

      { TYPE frl }

  } }

  { DATAXLATE {

……..

{ PROCESSNAME log_rtif }

  { PROTOCOL {

      { FTPACCT {} }

      { FTPCLOSE 1 }

      { FTPDELAY 1 }

      { FTPDIRLISTCMD nl }

      { FTPHOST xxx.xxx.xxx.9 }

      { FTPIBDIR {} }

      { FTPOBDIR {} }

      { FTPPASSWD {password} }

      { FTPPORT ftp }

      { FTPPULSETIME 500 }

      { FTPREADTIME 5 }

      { FTPTYPE i }

      { FTPUSER username }

      { IBDEL {

          { ARGS {} }

          { PROCS {} }

      } }

    { IBDIR {} }

      { IBDIRPARSE {

          { ARGS {{}} }

          { PROCS tpsDCIFilesetFilter }

      } }

      { IBMAXMSGS 1 }

      { IBREADINTERVAL 5 }

      { IBSCANINTERVAL 30 }

      { IBSTYLE eof }

      { MODE ftp }

      { OBAPPEND 1 }

      { OBDIR {} }

      { OBFILE {} }

      { OBSTYLE nl }

      { TYPE fileset }

  } }

  { RECVCONTROL {

      { ACKCONTROL {

          { ARGS {} }

          { PROCS {} }

      } }

I should also include this example that I can FTP from AIX command line:

$ ftp

ftp> open xxx.xxx.xxx.9

Connected to xxx.xxx.xxx.9.

220 boston_ma Microsoft FTP Service (Version 4.0).

Name (xxx.xxx.xxx.9:user): user

331 Password required for user.

Password:

230 User user logged in.

ftp> nl

200 PORT command successful.

You need an inbound directory and filename defined.

Although you have a dir parse tps, you still need to set up the directory name.

[Tom Patton]

What if the user id gets me to the directory I want to be in?  Can I fake a directory name somehow?

[Michael Hertel]

Yes, use /

[Tom Patton]

Michael,

Thank you that got me down the road – I just never saw that and always had a value there in other cases.

I now getting unrecognized command for DIR and NL which is alot further than I was an hour ago.

Thanks,

Tom

[Michael Hertel]

I believe the default is nlst or you can use list.

[Tom Patton]

nlst worked well – I was trying everything and had left it as nl.

I also found the / directory command took me to another directory, but just using a dot (.) kept me in the same directory.

Miles down the road – Thanks again Michael.

Tom

[Michael Hertel]

You’re welcome.
