FTP Enterprise question

Post by splayer »

I have a job as follows:
FTP Enterprise stage ---> SequentialFile

My DS version is 7.5.1A (DS is on UNIX). I am trying to load a text file from a Windows box to the sequential file. My FTP Enterprise stage has the following properties on the Output tab:

Source:
URI: ftp://abcW/FileName.txt (where abcW is the Windows server name)
Open command = text
Connection:
ftp command: ftp
Password: xxxxxxx
User name: my_user_name

Under the Columns tab, I have col1 and col2. In FileName.txt in the Windows box, I have the following:
1 2
3 4

I keep getting the error:
FTP_Enterprise_0: uri : ftp://abcW/FTPTest.txt is not valid remote file. When I go to abcW, go to ControlPanel/System Properties, go to Computer Name tab, the full computer name ends with a .net. I have also tried:
a) putting in this full computer name instead of abcW. The error message is the same.
b)Removing Open Command altogether. The error message is the same.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
