Files not FTP'ing in ASCII (CS4)

Hi all.....we are FTPing files to UNIX, and although the config file shows ASCII, our log shows they are going up as BINARY.....I followed the steps found here:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/135/tn_13548.html
This worked for the file I was working on, however the last 2 steps indicate that this is to be done for every file........we have 100's of files.....is there any way to do this globally one time (affecting every page) instead of applying the final two steps for every single file?
Thanks - Steve

We (unfortunately) get a lot of conference work to do and (lo and behold) some of the material we get is done on DVD cameras . Canon, Sony, etc they all seem to have their own way of screwing up with the DVD standards. When you load in Premiere, the footage will skip and burn. Some of it will half-load, some of it will skip, none of it will work or very rarely will...
So what we do here is to install a free plug in called PremiereAVSPlugin-v1.95 and DGIndex. This method is painless once you figure out how it works and will work 110% of the time, guaranteed. It doesn't re-render the files, it just reinterprets them, so you will have your high quality, original DVD files intact.

Contribute 6.5 can not ftp after years of no issues with CS4 and CS5

The problem
Contribute 6.5 can not connect via ftp using settings that formerly worked (and still do) in CS4 and CS5.
How we ended up here
I am the administrator website where
Our content editors have been using Contribute CS 4 and Contribute CS 5 without issue, 6+ years.
We are trying to upgrade to CS 6.5 to better support HTML5 markup now used within the site.
When attempting to configure a website connection in 6.5, Contribute alerts:
"Contribute cannot find the website files on the server. Please contact the website's administrator for assistance."
After closing the dialog box the failed connection is removed from contributes website connection list.
We have a shared hosting account and utilize ftp to publish changes.
Server is Win2008 with IIS 7.5
Again it's shared hosting, so read/write ftp are scoped to our account's directory.
We attempted this on serveral pcs including on a PC with a fresh install of Windows 7.
We can still connect successfully via ftp with CS4, CS5, dreamweaver, and Filezilla.
Which is why I believe this to be a Contribute 6.5 issue.
I've attempted the following troubleshooting articles:
Use network I/O logging to log operations, identify problems
I compared the I/O logging for both CS5 and CS 6.5 which both appear to log the same diagnostic steps.
Contribute FTP Server Checker (quite dated)
All successes reported. No failures.
Troubleshooting a Connection CS4 (linked from with CS 6.5's help UI)
As indicated above, alternate FTP clients have no issue.
This appears to be similar issue to the following posts:
5301620 - HELP - FTP Connection Error with Contribute 6.5
5907180 - Contribute 6.5 can no longer connect to sites ...
Unfortunately, there has been no solutions posted on either of these threads.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I can PM the network I/O log details if there is adobe staff who can get them in the right hands.
(Again the logs only show successes.)

@Zaldomoh
Have you found a solution or been given assistance from Adobe to resolve this issue? I'm having the same problem (CS 6.5 ftp'ing to a shared hosting enviroment). Details of our situation can be found on thread 1384686

"File not found" error when I try to render an animated menu (on mac) Encore CS4

I'm making a dvd with at least 2 animated menus. It means that I have a 1 movie in the background of each menu. Over my background, I have 3 thumbnail buttons which contain a small piece of movie animated movie too. When I try to to view my menus, in order to see the animation in the background and in the thumbnails I need to render the animation through File - Render - Motion menus.
The problem is that it works for the first menu but then when I continue my navigation to the second menu that has animation in background and thumbnails too, if I choose Render Motion menus,after 3/4 of the rendering it says "file not found" even if all the files are well in place in their folders.
Does anyone would have an idea of how to resolve this stupid problem that prevents me to burn my project on a DVD since the same errors will appear during the burning process (I use a mac with Encore CS4). Is it a bug? What are the solutions? Thanks for answering.
Steven.

SteveDVD,
The use of the .WMV was because that was part of the Library .EM template. I would not anticipate problems with other formats, so long as they are supported and the same for all of your Menus in the Project.
If you have done several Motion Menu Renderings, you might want to clear Encore's Media Cache, just in case it is still referencing previous Render files.
And yes, the re-Importation should yield the same result as Linking/re-Linking.
Unfortunately, I do not have CS4, so I can't test this for you. There do seem to be a few real Bugs in the various CS4 programs, and maybe this is one?
That "File Not Found" rings a bell in my feeble brain. Seems that there was a post on that, but I do not remember it being related to Motion Menus. Maybe search will yield something of use.
Good luck,
Hunt

PI 7.30: OS command on AIX to archive files on FTP does not work

Dear experts,
Our PI system runs on an AIX server.
I have a scenario PI --> FTP. I also need to archive files in a seperate folder on the FTP.
I have been following thread:
Read or Write File On FTP server based on another file existence.
After file processing in the Audit Log in RWB I among others I get the information:
Execute OS command "sh /usr/sap/SYS/flex/batches/archive.sh file.zip /ftpfolder/file.zip"
It seems it is working properly.
The file itself gets processed to the "ftpfolder". But in the archive folder I do not get a copy of that file.
My script looks like this:
#!/bin/ksh
ftp -n -v <<%%EOF%%
open ftpserver
user myuser mypassword
prompt
asci
cd archivefolder
mput $2
bye
%%EOF%%
In the file receiver I have "Run OS command after message processing":
"sh /usr/sap/SYS/flex/batches/archive.sh %f %F"
%F stands for the complete path, right? So if I say "mput $2" in my script it should use %F.
Could you please help me out here. I really don't know what the problem could be.
Thank you and best regards,
Peter

hi Peter,
>>>I have a scenario PI --> FTP
but FTP does not support OS command as far as I remember
correction:
"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 check for details:

Windows 8.1 Pro - FTP.exe not able to put file to FTP Server

Hi
We have replaced our Windows XP environment to Windows 8.1 Pro. Now I have problem with sending files through FTP to very old devices. Devices are runninng FTP Servers. Each time I try to "PUT" file on Windows 8.1 I receive message after some time:
"Connection closed by remote host"
If I make the same on Windows XP file is stored on FTP successfully.
From Windows 8.1 I am able to upload software only via Filezilla, but I need command line solution like FTP.exe or ncFTP.exe (non of them are able to stor file)
I have observed in Wireshark, that ftp.exe sends about 80kB of data, waits for some time and then it stops.
Summary of my problem:
Source Appl
Destination
Status
Win XP ftp.exe
FTP Server upload ok
Win 8.1 ftp.exe
FTP Server upload failed
Win 8.1 ncFTP.exe
FTP Server upload failed
Win 8.1 filezilla
FTP Server upload ok (but no command line solution)
Win 8.1 environment:
- standard installation of Windows 8.1 with newest Microsoft patches
- firewall ports - opened for inbound and outbound traffic
- no antivirus
FTP Server on problematic devices:
- old FTP Server, transfer in passive mode
I need command line solution tu upload files. Now I am not able to upload 1500 devices as we don't have Windows XP anymore.
What I have observed, when I type "PUT file" it takes about 20-30 seconds to start transfer on Windows XP or through filezilla.
Is there any problem with timeout in Windows 8.1 when it transfer files to old FTP server (working in passive mode)?
Thanks and regards,
Marcin

Hi Marcin,
Here is a thread talking about Windows 8.1 and FTP, see:

Further, I am currently checking on the issue, if more things found out, I will update here.
Thank you for your understanding.

Sender File Adapter not able to get file via FTP from an external system

Hi,
I have a Sender File Adapter using FTP which polls a server every 10 seconds looking for a file ".xml". The adapter will connect and pick up the waiting file, but sometimes the adapter not able to get file via FTP from an external system. The file is on the server, but despite the polling, the adapter does not pick up it. There is no return error.
The connect mode is Permanently and the transfer mode is Binary.
Can you help me?
Thanks.
T.

Hi Teresa,
does this case appears with a file size higher the others?
Personally, I do not recommend to have a polling under 1min.
10s could be too just, if the file is not small and/or if the file server is far (several kilometers) to where the Adapter Engine is, and/or this file server is beside a firewall. Do not forget also that, with previous points, you could have like a conflict, betwen the 1st polling and the 2nd polling, if in less 10s PI adapter has not enough time: to connect to the FTP server (several Km), find the file (perhaps among 100 other files in the directory), go back to the file to Adapter Engine server (several Km again), convert your file to XML message (with a complex Content Conversion), then check the XML structure, and when all that is done, return back to FTP server (several Km), to archive the source file... Well It's my understanding of a FTP exchange with FILE adapter...
If you really need a 10s polling, that's mean your have a pseudo real time interface. In that case, in my mind file should not be used! but we should use a Web service, JDBC JMS (any exchange without a physical object like a file). For me, it's a non-sens to have a file in that case.
regards.

FTP publishing on iWeb to replace existing site - files not appearing.

On iWeb, I used FTP publishing to replace my existing site files, then deleted the original files but not only has the new site files not appeared in my public html folder but I get the message:The requested URL /www.geofflevitus.com was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Founderror was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

but I get the message:The requested URL /www.geofflevitus.com was not found on this server.
That's an indication that the index.html file that is created alongside the site folder by iWeb is missing.
Try publishing your site to a folder on your hard driive and use a 3rd part ftp client like the free Cyberduck to upload the site folder and the index.html file.
Cyberduck or Transmit will let you view your server folder in a Finder like window where you can see which files are missing.

Overwrite existing file not working for FTP

Hi XI Folks,
I am trying not to overwrite the file at receiver - FTP server.
It is getting overwritten though I uncheck 'Overwrite existing file' checkbox in FTP. But the same is working fine for NFS. Please find the config details below.
Receiver communication channel Configuration:
Transport Protocol : FTP
File construction mode: Create
Put File: Use temporary file
Overwrite existing file : Not checked
The file is getting overwritten. Iam in SP15.
Receiver Communication channel Configuration:
Transport Protocol : NFS
File construction mode: Create
Write mode: Use temporary file
Overwrite existing file : Not checked
The file is not getting overwritten. It throws an error in Message monitor with wait status.
Is the "overwrite exist file - checkbox" works only for NFS & not for FTP.
eagerly expecting relevant response,
Kiruthika S

Sasi,
If we have two files with the same name then what do you want to do? It is the same scenario here? If you dont check the overwrite existing file option then it can write the file also. If you check then it will overwrite. If you dont want this then you can add the timestamp to the existing file. Else you have to make sure of the naming conventions of the file.

Not able to send file Using FTP in SSIS 2005

I am using SSIS 2005
I am trying to send file to ftp server using FTP task in SSIS but i am getting following error.
Error Message-:An error occurred in the requested FTP operation.
Detailed Description-:550 /FileName.txt: Access is denied.
RemotefilePath is /
I need a advice.
Thanks in advance.

I got this error recently from the FTP task in SSIS:
     Unable to send files using "FTP".
I had everything correct, by the book. I was trying to send a file, but I got the same error when trying to receive a file.
I already verified that I could send the file via command line FTP, so the FTP was not "secure FTP" (which wouldda required FileZilla or WinSCP or something similar) and my credentials were fine.
But I still got the above error. Heck, I was beginning to thing that the FTP task in SQL Server 2008 was broken and just couldn't send files.
Well, this issue is now resolved. The problem was in the
destination folder. I was assuming that the root folder for my FTP account held the files.
So I entered the destination folder as this:
/data_in/
But... the FTP task sees the root folder as one up from that.
So I had to use my account name in the path... meaning I had to change the destination folder to this:
    /myaccountname/data_in/
    (where "myaccountname" was my login to the FTP site.)
I hope this post helps someone else.

.INDD files not showing cs4 icon

...after an hour on the phone with tech support..I'm turning to the masses.
I've right clicked the file/prop/to change the program to open the file type with.
Indesign CS4 is not on my program list. When I select browse/program/adobe/indesign cs4 and selet the .exe file and hit open..
the window disappears and indesign is NOT added to the list or available to select.
I also have tried control panel/folder options/file types and have tried to manually force it to use CS4 to open INDD files... however, indesign CS4 is not on this program list either..
I CAN however open and use indesign 4 and open indd files in the program.. however ctrl/s opens the save as dialogue box instead of just saving it...
all indd files have a 'windows-esqe' icon.
HELP
thanks
Dsgngirl

Did you by chance delete an earlier version after installing CS4? This has been know to cause this sort of behavior.
I think the best advice is to reinistall the program, which should repair the .dll file that handles the icons for the various versions.

FTP to file server - file not reached to file server but in XI success

Hi
Scenario is
XI is picking file from SAP and sending to a file server. In XI ,communication channel and sxi_moni shows message transferred successfully.
But the file server guys din't receive any file. Can any one tell where the message can be lost. If file is not reaching destination then how come in XI its showing SUCCESSFUL message.
Regards

Hi,
Your communication channel is not able to connect with the FTP sever.
Check in RWB the communication channel log also user id, password mentioned in communication channel.
Check whether that user has authorization to create file on FTP sever.

File not reached ftp : How to handle the error

Hi,
I am doing idoc-file scenario. I need to place file on ftp server. Now if i give incorrect ftp details, the error canot be seen in SXI_MONITOR but in Adapterframework i can see the error.
Can someone please let me know how this exception can be handled. I need to send mail notification notifying such errors.
Thanks & Regards
Vani

Hi Vani,
XI has 2 basic engines, the Integration Engine and Adapter Engine running inside the J2EE engine.
The reason that you can see the error in Adapter but not in SXMB_MONI is that the processing of your Integration Engine has no errors in it.
But, when the Adapter is trying to post the file into the Destination System, it errors out and so, the error in the Adapter Framework.
Errors in the Adapter Engine can also be used to trigger alerts and send email.
To create Alerts, Alert Rule, just check this blog,
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/09/09/xi-alerts--step-by-step
It will help you in doing your entire Alert Configuration.
Next,from SP14 onwards, activation of end to end monitoring is not needed for Alerting. Refer to this note 870232 for this info.
Next, to test if your Alerts have been defined correctly, go to SE38. In the program , type RSALERTTEST and then click on EXECUTE button ( F8 ). In the next window, it will ask you for your ALERTCATEGORY. Just give the name of your ALERT CATEGORY and click EXECUTE.
If you have configured your alerts correctly, you will receive a message that tells ALERT IS GENERATED and will give the ALERT ID.
Now, go to your Run TIme workbench and then select ALERT INBOX and see if you have got the ALERT message in your ALERT INBOX.
If this is working fine, then the last step, implement the note 913858.
If you are below SP14, also check this blog,

When opening a file of any type in Photoshop (CS4), the windows will not appear in Ps.

When opening a file of any type in Photoshop (CS4), the windows will not appear. Photoshop will open and I can see the layers on the right but the document window will not come up no matter what I try. I try closing down everything, double-clicking a layer, opening multiple windows, etc.. Any thoughts?

Can you post a screenshot of your entire Photoshop screen with a file loaded in and the layers panel showing?
It helps if we see the same problem you are seeing
