Hi ,
In order to use FTP stage , do we need to install any service in the remote machine that is being FTPed or if the FTP service is installed in the Datastage server is fine? and what are the other permissions that we need to have in order to use FTP stage and do we need to provide username and password in order to FTP to the remote machine?.
Any help is really appreciated
Thanks in advance

FTP requires a client (DataStage) to connect to a server.
Is your FTP target host a Windows or Unix machine?
Ask your system administrator if an FTP server has been configured on that machine.
Or, you could just check whether port 21 is open on your target.
E.g. telnet servername 21
The need for a username and password depend upon the security configuration of your target system. Most installations I've used don't permit anonymous FTP (I.e. a connection without supplying credentials.)

Hi,
I am trying to test FTP whether it is working or not , so my client and server are windows nd i am trying to get some data from client and load into server or vice versa. So when i use FTP stage it says at the properties of the FTP stage as FTP pot is 21 and emote telnet port is 23. So do i need to ask system admin for the user name and password to connect to the client server?
Thanks in advance
