SFTP CL 5.8 File size Issue??

[Mike Wilson]

I am trying to use the built in SFTP protocol in CL 5.8.  I have been successful sending single HL7 messages.  I need to write the entire days messages out to a file and then send it at the end of day.  If I do this I get:

“Detailed error:Failed sending data to the peer Curl errCode:55 Curl error: Failed sending data to the peer”.  

The file is about 1MB.  If I cut the file down to under 15K it sends with no problem…..  Anybody have any ideas or experience with this?  

Thanks in Advance!

Update:  The vendor is using MOVEit DMZ…

Mike,

If you do SFTP from the command line can you send the large file?

If not, perhaps he other side is limiting the file size.

I should have said that earlier.  I can send Large files to the other side with other SFTP clients..  just not the CL built in.

I also did the send from the command line using curl and I got the same message as I did in the engine.

Mike,

If you turn up the engine noise is there more information in the process log?

I turned the EOconfig all the way up and the only relevant part I can find is:

Mike,

Does the highlighted entry from the log look like an issue?

* Using ssh private key file C:Usershciuser/.ssh/id_dsa

<span style="color: red]* SSH public key authentication failed”>

* Initialized password authentication

* Authentication complete

* Closing connection #0

* Failed sending data to the peer

Jim,

I dont think authentication is an issue.  I dont have any keys installed.  Just username and password authentication which is working.  If  that was a problem I would think I couldnt send any files.. which is not the case.

[Kevin Scantlan]

When you send the sftp manually, are you manually typing in the password?  I know that if you want to do sftp from a script without it prompting for a password, you must user public/private key authentication.  That may be the same from CL 5.8 .

[Mike Wilson]

Guys,

If authentication was an issue I would think I couldnt send any files at all.  I can send some files..

Mike,

Since I am not on 5.8 unfortunately I cannot experiment to help you.

If I manually type in “sftp” with userid and IP address, sftp will first try to authenticate using a public/private key match.  It will do RSA type first, then look for DSA.  If it cannot authenticate (keys don’t match or don’t exist), will then prompt for a password to be manually inputed (authentication via a password).  When I write a script and use sftp, I must use key authentication since there is no way using sftp to automatically have the password inputed.  

I do not know how CL5.8 works, but I suspect it works in the same fashion as using a script.

You would be able to send files manually via sftp using a password, but you may not be able to use Cloverleaf without key authentication.

Anyway, that’s my best guess w/o knowing CL5.8 .
