File FTP as receiver

[Former Member]

Hi! I am trying to transfer a file using File adapter as the sender channel and File FTP as the receiver channel. the file is successfully sended but not received.

I get this error message.

Error occurred while connecting to the FTP server java.net.ConnectException: A remote host refused an attempted connect operation.

Any suggestions?

The problem is with receiver end server.

The file sent by you is successfully delivered to XI engine.

From XI engine to receiver server, following things you check with technical persons/basis :

1) Receiver server FTP port 21 is open.

2) FTP user id and password is correct.

3) The folder is having all access.

Once these are through, the connection will be through.

Good Luck !!

Make sure if you have enough permissions to read/write to the file location,you may need to ask Basis/Security/helpdesk.

Thanks

Hello ,

Ur FTP server port is denying access to XI.

Check if the FTP port is open from XI server location or not...

Check the FTP connection using telnet

What's Telnet?

Hi,

What is telnet?

A.Telnet is a user command and an underlying TCP/IP protocol for accessing remote computers. Through Telnet, an administrator or another user can access someone else's computer remotely. On the Web, HTTP and FTP protocols allow you to request specific files from remote computers, but not to actually be logged on as a user of that computer. With Telnet, you log on as a regular user with whatever privileges you may have been granted to the specific application and data on that computer.

A Telnet command request looks like this (the computer name is made-up):

telnet the.libraryat.whatis.edu

The result of this request would be an invitation to log on with a userid and a prompt for a password. If accepted, you would be logged on like any user who used this computer every day.

Telnet is most likely to be used by program developers and anyone who has a need to use specific applications or data located at a particular host computer.

I hope you have gone through this weblog:

You can check whether port is open for your server using telnet command.

Just type following command and press enter, in case of successfull connection it should give you a blank screen or some message from ftp server.

Eg: telnet 10.132.54.8 21

If it is giving error like this "A remote host refused an attempted connect operation." then it could be due to port not open for the server.

Please reward points if it helps

hi

just to see if XI server has connection to your system

ask you basis team (or do it yourself) :

try telent from XI machine to your computer

This problem is either caused by incorrect firewall / packet filter settings or an incorrect configuration of the FTP server. Also make sure that you have correctly specified the host name / IP address and port of the FTP server.

Changing the connection type from 'active' to 'passive' (or vice versa) might additionally help to work around the incorrect firewall configuration
