Getting files using FTP

I connect to a remote website usingFTP : a message appears " DW cannot determine the remote server time. The select Newer & Synchonise commands will not be available". I click ok and in the Remote site window of DW a folder appears named /. I click Get File "are you sure you wish to get the entire site?" I do "retreiving remote folder info for /." My website folders & files are not transfered. I appear to be connected to the website but cannnot download it into DW. What am i doing wrong? Thankyou

/. is a root level folder reference, which you may not have access to, but there should be other folders below it or, when you open up the reference, it should take you to the topmost level of your virtual directory, where the files may be.

How to get file from FTP Server using File Control

Hi,
Any one did getting file from FTP Server?
Please let me know any one help me.
I would need to get file from FTP Server.
Thanks,
Madhu

Yes I have done that. But In FTP Server I cannt read file, because no previliges. Only I need to copy file from FTP Server to local server then only I can read that file.
I tried all options using FileConrol(getFiles(),read()).
getFiles() - It wont copy the file, it give information about file.
read() - I dont have previliges to read the file.
Please tell me any other procedure would be there for getting file from FTPServer.
Thanks,
Madhu

Getting remote file using FTP Server Issue in OSB

Hi Guys,
I have configured a FTP server on my local system and I created a proxy service to get file from ftp location to some other location but it fails . I used ftp protocol for getting file
and my ftp location is D:\host\ftp and it has another folder called osb . I used ftp as protocol and EndPointURI is ftp://localhost/. It fails to get files and shows error message like
com.bea.wli.sb.transports.TransportException: <user:osb>Unable to list files for
directory: .
at com.bea.wli.sb.transports.ftp.connector.FTPWorkPartitioningAgent.exec
ute(FTPWorkPartitioningAgent.java:218)
In case of Business Service, writing a file to ftp location (i.e ftp://localhost/ means D:\host\ftp\osb) working.
I used service account for both proxy,BS to connect . osb is username and same as password.
Can Any one please suggest me How to solve this issue?
Thanks,
Srinivas.

Thank You,

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.

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.

How to Create a Flat File using FTP/File Adapter

Can any body done workaround on creating the Flat file using FTP/File Adapter?.
I need to create a simple FlatFile either using of delimiter/Fixed length. using the above said adapters we can create XML file, i tried concatinating all the values into a single String and writing into a file, but it does not have proper structure
Can any body help me out on this..
Thanks
Ram

You can create a text schema while creating a File Adapter. If schema is specified for File Adapter, it takes care of converting XML into fixed length or delimited format.

Data Integrator has no read permissions to get the data file using FTP

Hi,
I wonder if you could help.
We have installed the data integrator and are using FTP to get the data file from the SAP server to the DI server. The files are created by the SAP admin user with permissions 660. The FTP user is not in the sapsys group so cannot read the files.
Has anyone come accross this problem and how did you solve it?
Many thanks.

Problem archiving file using FTP adapter

Hi,
I am polling some files from another server using FTP adapter in SOA 11g. Even though I have checked the option to archive the files, the files get archived successfully on the server where the SOA process is running, but I am unable to archive the files on the server from which I am reading the file
I am not sure whether this is the default behaviour or is there any way to archive files on the same server from which I pick or read the file.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Namrata

Hi Neeraj,
Thanks, the archiving in the remoteLocation worked by doing what you told me...
I tried archiving to the local machine which is not working for me ... i gave both the properties as below...
<property name="UseRemoteArchive" value="false"/>
<property name="PhysicalArchiveDirectory" value="C:\Users\naresh\Desktop\ftp"/>
Thanks,
