Announcing FTP Quote Command Deprecation

Hi Everyone,
Deprecations to FTP Commands
Oracle CM SDK provides several FTP quote commands to change system behavior via the FTP protocol.
Due to the fact that we have not found them as useful as originally planned and that they add unnecessary complexity to the FTP protocol server, we have decided to deprecate the following FTP Quote commands in this release.
- QUOTE ACL
- QUOTE NOACL
- QUOTE ADMIN
- QUOTE NOADMIN
These commands will be deleted from future releases of Oracle CM SDK.

FTP STOR command with REST capability

Hi folk,
I have a cRIO on a remote field, and I need that the program running on that platform periodically uploaded, through the internet, the data files to an FTP server.
I have used the FTP VIs included in the Internet Toolkit to develop this functionality and I am experiencing some problems.
During the uploading of files of medium or large size, via FTP, can happen that the FTP server closes the connection.
The reasons can be different, network operation exceeded the user-specified or system time limit, bandwidth usage is restricted or the bandwidth is limited, etc..
To overcome this issue the correct strategy is to reopen the FTP connection and to restart the upload from the point where it was interrupted.
It is very important to finish to upload only the remaining part of the file, and not to restart from the beginning, otherwise you could not end the upload if the FTP server closes the connection again and again.
For implementing the resume, the FTP protocol supports a number of commands:
SIZE <remote file-name> Returns the size of a file (Binary mode) .
REST <file-size>         Sets the following STOR command to restart transfer
                         from the specified point.
STOR <remote file-name> If anticipated from a REST command, store (upload)
                         only the part of the file starting from the
                         specified point.
At the present, it seams to me that the LabVIEW Internet Toolkit does not support the capability of FTP resume.
Furthermore, if during a FTP upload the connection is closed by the FTP server, the FTP [STOR].vi exits sometime with ambiguous errors.
Exit with a correct error:
Error 56 occurred at TCP Read in NI_InternetTK_Common_VIs.lvlib:TCP Read xTP Reply.vi:2->NI_InternetTK_FTP_VIs.lvlib:FTP Get Command Reply.vi:1->NI_InternetTK_FTP_VIs.lvlib:FTP Data Send.vi->NI_InternetTK_FTP_VIs.lvlib:FTP [STOR].vi
Possible reason(s):
LabVIEW: The network operation exceeded the user-specified or system time limit.
Exit with an ambiguous error:
Error 54 occurred at TCP Open Connection in NI_InternetTK_FTP_VIs.lvlib:FTP Open Data Connection.vi->NI_InternetTK_FTP_VIs.lvlib:FTP Data Send.vi->NI_InternetTK_FTP_VIs.lvlib:FTP [STOR].vi
Possible reason(s):
LabVIEW: The network address is ill-formed. Make sure the address is in a valid format. For TCP/IP, the address can be either a machine name or an IP address in the form xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. If this error occurs when specifying a machine name, make sure the machine name is valid. Try to ping the machine name. Check that you have a DNS server properly configured.
Do you have idea or suggestion of how realize an FTP STOR command with REST capability?
Thanks,
Asper

Unfortunately the best advice I could give you would be to make a copy of the FTP toolkit and add this functionality yourself. You should have most of the building blocks available to you so it should be fairly starightforward. You could reference the RFC (RFC 959 and RFC 3659 for extensions) for any specifics you need on the packet format. You will need to save some state information so you can resume your download from the correct point.
Would it be possible to use TFTP? This is much leaner and more likely to succeed if the other ends supports it. I recently wrote a very basic TFTP Write. I'm sure I could do the TFTP Read in short order. I'm still working on packaging it up in a distributable form but I could provide you with a basic VI if needed.

FTP Sub Command: Local Error with EasyDMS

We have been using DMS for several years. We have a vault setup and are able the checkin files with FTP via SAPGUI with no problems. Recently we have been looking at EasyDMS. We have it installed and can login ok. When we try to drag a file into the windows explorer the popup appears and we can enter the META data. When the file is checkin via FTP we get FTP Sub Command: Local Error.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Tom,
We have encountered the exact same siituation with EasyDMS, we currently have had an OSS call to SAP for 2 weeks that ended up with the developers in Germany and bouncing the issue back to technical support and stating that they have no idea!
We are also interested in an answer, sorry I can't help you, but you are not alone.

Mac "expect" function cannot work properly with ftp "!" command

Lastly I have written a Expect-TCL script on Linux to automatically download log files from my company network device I have ever made used of ftp command “!” to go back to linux local to create directory with appropriate name for storing downloaded files.
However, I found that when I use the same Expect-TCL script on my Mac, I found that the Expect script will stuck at ftp “!” command without proceeding onward. Here below is the command output with my sample experiment.
BMBP:_Practise boyce$ expect sample-ftp.exp
spawn ftp 127.0.0.1 21
Connected to 127.0.0.1.
220-Welcome to Boyce BMP FTP
220 CrushFTP Server Ready!

331 Username OK. Need password.

230 Password OK. Connected.
Remote system type is UNIX.
Using binary mode to transfer files.
ftp> binary
200 Command ok : Binary type selected.
ftp> verbose
Verbose mode off.
ftp> !
bash-3.2$
quit
exit
^CBMBP:_Practise boyce$
Here below is my sample script to test ftp “!” command:
BMBP:_Practise boyce$ cat sample-ftp.exp
#! /usr/bin/expect
Default Settings
set site "127.0.0.1"
set port "21"
set dirListFile "dir_list.txt"
set sdUserName "boyce"
set sdUserPwd "boyce"
Launch a FTP session to SD
set timeout 60
log_user 0
spawn ftp $site $port
expect "Name" {send "$sdUserName\r"}
expect "Password:" {send "$sdUserPwd\r"}
expect "ftp>" {send "binary\r"}
expect "ftp>" {send "verbose\r"}
expect "ftp>" {send "!\r"}
expect "(.*)" {send "ls\r"}
exit
Have you ever tried “!” command from expect script? Should it be classified as a bug on Mac Expect and do you know is there any patch available to fix such problem?

Try posting this in the Unix Forums.

Implementing FTP SIZE command

HI
I am trying to implement the SIZE command in FTP. The RFC says that the return value of the SIZE command will depend on the current STRUCTURE , MODE and TYPE of data connection. However, it doenot say how . I have not been able to find anything on the net either. Does anyone have a working implementation of the SIZE command , taking into account all the above mentioned factors, or any idea of how the above factors affect the SIZE command return value? Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance

hi
try getLocation() on each button. save this to file and when opening read the file applying the saved values to setLocation(...).
try using perhaps property/value pairs for saving the values like this:
firstbutton=0,0
secondbutton=2,2
then load this as a Properties object and apply the Point values

Ftp location commands not working on programs

Hi, I dont know how to explain this so I better post a screenshot. Im trying to open a remote file with bluefish to edit it in place and save changes after.
I have tried to open with several programs with no luck, so its not bluefish specific, I have also tried aptana studio 3 and same thing. Of course those are not the real parameters for the ftp server (just in case ) they are just for ilustrative purposes.
If I do it via dolphin, it works, konqueror also works, but whenever Im inside a different program it wont let me.
What can I do to fix this?
thanks in advance for the help!

ok I am back with the solution
For remote files, bluefish uses GVFS, so first thing you should check that you have that installed
pacman -Ss gvfs
that will bring you the related packages along with which ones are installed. In my case I had all the relevant ones and didnt install the bluetooth support or anything like that, just read the package descriptions and you should be fine.
the command that will do magic for you is gvfs-mount use it as so:
gvfs-mount ftp://yourdomain.com
then it will ask for user and password just type them in and you are good to go (that command mounts the ftp on /hone/youruser/.gvfs)
Then you can go into bluefish and see it on the file list and explore it to your hearts content along with edit it in place etc etc.
you can do it with sftp also:
gvfs-mount sftp://yourdomain.com
If your hosting provider port number is different from the default just add it at the end of that line with a ":"
gvfs-mount sftp://yourdomain.com:2222
Hope it helps!

ASCII Mode Connection & FTP LIST command

Hi All,
I want to realize a simple Java FTP Client. At the beginning I tought to write a dir/file listing method, but I have no less difficulties to do it.
As RFC says LIST is the appropriate command to be implemented.
As I read RFC I should to open an ASCII Mode Connection but I don't know How.
Connecting some ftp Server and sending it a "LIST" command I receive these replyes:
331 User name okay, need password.
230 User logged in, proceed.
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /bin/ls.
426 Data connection closed, transfer aborted.
So, after 150 I should receive directory content, but it doesn't work. On the other side, if I want to send "HELP" command, using readLine() method I can display all reply from server.
How can I make directory listing for my FTP Client?
Thanks a lot...

I prefer fireftp, but yea thats what I use to do any sort of ftp with the crio. At the time I was testing it I was able to log onto the ftp server of the crio, list directory and do get and put operations. Good to hear its working fine for you though.
Looks like the device is having problems now (has become completely unresponsive) and is deployed 350 miles from here so we have some new problems to deal with. Maybe it was the device, I am not sure but I guess this is on hold until the device is back up.

I have tried
cd 1
cd 2
cd 3via XP ftp client and it is working fine. So I assume this is what Java class does after parsing FTP url.
Could you please elaborate on your statement "Not only that, it looks as if may not be doing
cd /1 as you might expect, and this could be a problem if your user account has a default working directory assigned by the FTP server. "
As you pointed out, it might be something related to FTP home directory.

Cannot use quota command on NFS shares

When I am logged into a host other than where the my users directories reside, the quota -v command does not display any information.
Does the file systems need to be mounted differently? I know the mounts are definitely including the rq mount option.
Thanks for the help,
-Todd

look into rquotad/rquota. it may be disabled (svcs nfs/rquota) or commented out in /etc/inetd.conf

Strange behavior ftp ls command

Hi Everybody
Here is the situation with FTP conections between diferent platforms
FTP Server: Solaris 10
FTP Client: Linux or Windows
When I connect to the FTP Server and run a ls or ls -l command it does not return anything, it seems like the directory is empty, For example:
user1@ubuntu:~$ ftp 10.2.1.11
Connected to 10.2.1.11.
220 tn-00 FTP server ready.
Name (10.2.1.11:user1): billing1
331 Password required for billing1.
Password:
230 User billing1 logged in. Access restrictions apply.
Remote system type is UNIX.
Using binary mode to transfer files.
ftp> ls -l
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /bin/ls.
226 Transfer complete.
ftp> ls
ftp> ls
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /bin/ls.
226 Transfer complete.
But the directory is not empty...
SO.. What i'm getting no output from ls or ls -l commands?
Thanks so much for your help

Hi! thanks for the reply!
For Some reason the output of pwd command is "/", but the home directory for my test user is "/opt/mer/ler"

ftp> pwd
257 "/" is current directory.
ftp> ls
I don't know why if i connect form a Windows client or Linux clients the "ls" command does not return anything.

Can anybody help me to replace the ftp with sftp in this script?
Thanks in Advance,
Roopak

It is not that difficult. The main difference is that sftp uses a different means of authentication. Thus the username and password (and ftp quote ) commands are not relevant.
As for the sftp list of commands - very similar to ftp. I suggest that you try this conversion yourself. Will be a valuable exercise that will increase your knowledge.
The list of commands:
sftp> help

Mainframe Integration using File Adapter (FTP Mode):: ftp commands

Hi,
We are trying to integrate with Mainframe system using File Adapter. (FTP mode). We are able to write the file to Mainframe system but not able to format it properly. We had to provide FTP parameter, <b>ftp.quote site recfm=fb lrecl=150</b>
As per SAP Note 801926 :: XI 3.0 File Adapter: Additional Parameters, the only parameter that can be used is <b>ftp.timeout</b>. Has anyone tried out using other FTP parameters? (like ftp.quote)
Any help is grealy appreciated.
Regards,
Siva Maranani

I am looking at running some OS commands especially the QUOTE SITE FILENAME, and found this OSS note:
https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/841704
In this note it says...
"Note that for the File Adapter transport protocol "FTP", the operating system command is NOT executed on the FTP server, but on the server hosting the Adapter Engine."

OS commands in FTP adapter

Hi Experts,
we are trying to use the OS command in the sender FTP adapter to compress the huge text files(approx 2 GB) before we pick the file to avoid the server issues.
for which we are using the OS command,
ssh -n -l user targetserver "cd /tagetdirectory; compress ExportFile.xml;mv ExportFile.xml.Z ExportFile.xml"
The above is a single command supplied by the Basis team.
the above command makes the connection to the target server with the user ( password not required)and then compresses the file.
I used the command in the sender FTP adapter as is.
But the message processing made the XI server unavailable and the process got failed due to HTTP_TRANSMISSION_ERROR
Please suggest on the OS command, Is it a right command ? or do I need to add anything to it, to make it work.
Please note that for the File Adapter transport protocol "FTP", the operating system command is NOT
executed on the FTP server, but on the server hosting the Adapter Engine ( please refer to
SAP note: 841704).
Thanks,
MK

Thanks Michal,
For "FTP" the command will be executed on the but on the server hosting the Adapter Engine, right?
ssh -n -l user targetserver "cd /targetdirectory; compress ExportFile.xml;mv ExportFile.xml.Z ExportFile.xml"
the command above is opening a secure channel from the XI host to the FTP host. We have a trusted relationship set up between the xiadm and ftpadm users which will allow this to occur without a password. and then it compress the file.
Please suggest further to resolve the issue.
I really appreciate you help.
Thanks,
MK
