FTP error - 421

Hi all,
We are trying to FTP files from business connector at regular interval to external party via proxy and sometimes we face a error - 421 Service not available, closing control connection.
Please help to know what could be the cause for this, as this happens during few transmissions and remaining time we are able to FTP with out any problem.
I tried to check the size of the files transmitted and is not different than the successful transmission. Also, due to this error we are not able read or put the files to external FTP server.
Please help.

Endpoint shutdown (FTP) on web exception. FTP error 421

Hi,
When using FTP Source in my Biztalk Services project it sometimes occurs that we receive an error 421 from the FTP server. This causes the endpoint to shutdown, which will result in a manual action to restart the endpoint again.
We're looking into the cause of the 421 error, but the strange thing is that 4 bridges within the same project use the same FTP server, but they do not all shutdown. This makes it assumable that it's a short hickup in the system.
Is there a way to set a strategy of backoff and retrying instead of shutting down the endpoint for FTP errors ? I my opinion, /I shouldn't need to rely on a 3rd party to keep my infrastructure running.

The bridge will shut down after retry attempts at delayed polling intervals.
You may want to monitor Operation Logs / Event logs for such events.
You may write a simple PS script which can run periodically to start the bridges and make sure that the bridges are in started state.

Hi Guys,
I am getting these two error messages:
1) com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 421 Maximum session time exceeded - closing
2) com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 421 Too many users - please try again later
when XI Sender File Adapter tries to pick the files from the FTP server.
I have not set any limit to the number of session for the user that I have mantianied in the adapter. (Niether I know it -:) how to set.)
Any idea or help, how to resove this error.
Thanks in adavance,
Namadev

Hi Namdev,
Your this error is coming as your FTP server maximum allowed connection is reached. so as the solution I would suggest to change the Connection mode property of your communication channel as Per File Transfer as default property is Permanently which reserves connection forever.
So other communication channels cannot communicate. Make this changes to all the communication channel you have configured.
And your problem is solved.
enjoy....

Send E-mail from Oracle (9.2.0.1) : SMTP transient error: 421 Service not a

I have used Oracle 9i server (9.2.0.1 version) on Windows XP machine(with SP2).I want to send Email from PL/SQL procedure.
My Question is what sort of configuration needed to perform this activity?
I have installed IIS (Internet Information Service)
in my machine, then configure my SMTP mail server
with a valid email id and password given TCP port 465.
Later I came to know that to send Email from PL/SQL I have to install Oracle JServer Code. Follow three steps. the steps are
1. Execute the script as sys "$ORACLE_HOME\javavm\install\initjvm.sql"
2. Execute the loadjava classfile as
$ORACLE_HOME\plsql\jlib>loadjava -f -v -r -u sys/**** plsql.jar
3. Execute the script as sys "$ORACLE_HOME\rdbms\admin\initplsj.sql"
I sucessfully executed the first step, but for the second step iam not able to locate the plsql.jar file in the specified path.
So Please tell me if there is any other method to perform this task
My code is as follows.

Thank You.

1) Why did you install an SMTP server locally and then tell your code to try to use the server mail.google.com?
2) The error you're getting is from mail.google.com indicating that Google isn't running an open SMTP server there. I would be very surprised if Google were running a publicly available SMTP server anywhere since that would be an invitation for spammers.

How can get Dreamweaver to stop error message: an ftp error has occurred- cannot connect to host?

Dreamweaver is locking me out when I try to connect to the host via ftp. I get the error message: "An ftp error has occurred - cannot make connection to host". This error message started yesterday when I used the wrong host ftp address too many times. I have since received the correct ftp address from my website host, but the system won't even let me log in...it just gives me that error message when I click the connection button on the panel. My website host recommends that I uninstall Dreamweaver and re-install it again. My concern is, if I un-install the Dreamweaver app, which I downloaded from the Cloud, will the Cloud know I've un-installed Dreamweaver and allow me to download it again? Please help.

See my response in your most recent thread. Please don't double post like that - it can confuse things considerably when replies come in to both threads.

An FTP Error occured - cannot make connection to host. No response from the server

"An FTP Error occured - cannot make connection to host. No response from the server".
As of today this is all i get when trying to connect to every single ftp account i have. It's not the server cause it's every one and there is several different. Tried passive and non-passive same result. I've connected fine with other FTP clients. So this must be another dreamweaver bug. Anyone know what to do?

Very hard to diagnose these problems, particularly as you can connect using a 3rd party program.
See if the 'timeout' issue could be at play here:

FTP error: Receiver Communication Channel

Hello Experts,
I am getting the following FTP error in my Receiver Communication Channel.
Error occurred while connecting to FTP server: Peer certificate rejected by ChainVerifier
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Anup

Hi Anup,
Problem is with FTPS and not FTP.The SSL handshake needs to confirm that the FTPS client is using the FTPS server's DNS name to access the FTP service since only the DNS name of the FTPS server is stored in the certificate signed by the trusted CA (e.g. VeriSign). it's the way the Certification Authorities works.
If you are using any IP address then try with your host name.

I am getting an FTP error message when publishing, it goes okay until it reaches home page. The home page does not appear correctly. Any help greatly appreciated

I have a website using iweb and am having problems publishing. When I try to publish it appears to be going through then stops at home page and I get an FTP error message. I talked to my website host and they checked it from their end on two brosers and it is fine. There suggestion was to contact this support group. They thought it had something to do with iweb code writing.

What version of iWeb are you using? What are you using to upload the site files to your FTP server?
I talked to my website host and they checked it from their end on two brosers and it is fine
What did they check? Have you tried viewing your site that's online to see if the changes went thru? Before you do so clear your browser's cache (Command+Option+E for Safari) and then load the site.

It sounds like you don't have an SMTP server running on your local machine.
Even if you install IIS (or some other SMTP server), that is probably not enough to send email outside of your machine because your machine is unlikely to be trusted by the downstream mail servers. If you are running this in a company, you'll need to talk to your company's mail admin to determine where the corporate SMTP server is running. If you running this at home, you'll need to find out from your ISP what SMTP servers are available to you.

It appears that the SYS user is permitted by the ACL, but is somehow blocked access to mail.mydomain.com on the application server. Are there any Linux configurations that need to occur in implementing this process? Or, am I missing something in configuring Oracle. I'm using 11.2.0.1.0. This is my first time setting this up. Does the database need to be cycled down then back up for any of these settings to take place?
