FTP Enterprise Stage - To access Mainframe File

Hi,

We are using FTP enterprise stage to connect and grab a file from Mainframe host. This connection is working perfectly fine when we are trying FTP using our own credentials. But somehow it's not able to grab the file using SFTP SSH connection

URI - FTP://HOST//'MAINFRAME_FILE'
TRANSFER_PROTOCOL - Secure FTP(SFTP)

Please suggest - do we need to have any specific connection when we do SFTP ?

Regards,
synsog

The short answer is yes, you do. SSH compatibility is the first requirement.

Thank you!

I confirmed and we have required SSH created. But Still the job is running long without any activity. There is not sign of grabbing or extracting the data from Mainframe.

Can someone please confirm, if the above mentioned syntax are proper ?

Regards,
Synsog.

The correct URI is FTP://hostname/'mainframe filename'

Could be you just have the extra slash.

Unfortunately, Removal of the extra slash also did not worked. :-(

I'm sorry to hear that. At this point you probably need to talk to your system support and get them to verify the connection. You might also have a password violation lock. Only your support can find out at this point.

I suggest you review your code again, just to make sure there isn't something else causing it. Good luck.
