Hi

I'm using ftp plugin stage to ftp a dummy file a windows server.

But the warning is Ftp..FTP_Plug_in_1: 550 CWD failed. "/D:/EDW_Download_Main": directory not found.

but i'm specifying D:\EDW_Download_Main\

Can you suggest whats happening and how to resolve.

Thanks in advance.

Double-check what you think you are sending as the Pathname.

Hi Chulett

I think pathname is the directory to where the files are written.

I have tried D:\EDW_Download_Main\ and D:/EDW_Download_Main/

where do you think i'm wrong

Please suggest

Thanks
Suresh

Try /EDW_Download_Main (with no drive letter, and with UNIX-style forward slashes in the pathname).

Ftp..FTP_Plug_in_1: 550 CWD failed. "/EDW_Download_Main": directory not found.

Hi

I have an other job where i'm using ftp plugin..and the waring message is

FTP_Plug_in_1: Connection to the remote host's FTP server failed, host name not found

My administrator says he had set up sftp connections and opened firewalls.

What exactly could be happening ?

why is datastage not finding the target host ?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions
Suresh

sftp != ftp
