Login to the FTP server failed invalid password for user abc

[pmadhavi]

Hi

We are using the ftp stage to copy a flat file to a share drive.
We gave the correct server name , our windows login ID/password.

but when we run the job we are getting the following error.
"Login to the FTP server failed, invalid password for user co10004"

we are able to connect to the share drive with our ID. from the explorer.

Did anybody come across this kind of problem?
help me out in tracing the same.

Are you able to ftp to your shared drive using the userid/password you are specifying ? Why don't you check that first.

Please find the following:

I gave ftp <servername> at the command prompt.
Connected to <servername>
220 server_6 FTP server (EMC-SNAS: 7:45:33:2) ready.
User: <username>
331 password required for <username>.
Password: <I entered the password>
530 Login incorrect.
Login failed.

Well if you are not able to connect to the server using the command prompt then clearly you dont have access, or your giving incorrect password.
You said you got connected via explorer. Disconnect it and try to reconnect via explorer with the exact same user name and password. See if that works.

its very strange. if I try to map the drive with my ID, it is saying 'network path not found'. But if I give the same path in Run window, its getting connected.

[DSguru2B]

how are you giving the path name.
Dont give the drive name thats mapped. Give the complete name of the server.
For eg:
If //myserver is mapped to drive J then dont give drive J , give //myserver.

Please find the following:

I gave ftp <servername> at the command prompt.
Connected to <servername>
220 server_6 FTP server (EMC-SNAS: 7:45:33:2) ready.
User: <username>
331 password required for <username>.
Password: <I entered the password>
530 Login incorrect.
Login failed.

But whether you are able to map the drive or not, why are you getting a 530 Login incorrect message ? and this you should check with your administrator.
