The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Cannot FTP text file to as400 via FTP task in SSIS

Asked by crabbit74 in SSIS, Programming for iSeries / AS400, File Transfer Protocol (FTP)

Tags: SQL Sever 2005 SSIS

Hi,

I have been struggling for the past day or so trying to get a text file to FTP to our as400 box.

The FTP task is the last part of a larger SSIS package I have developed and it's driving me insane that I can't get such a simple part to work. Basically if any of the file creation package or the FTP task fails, an SMS text message will send to users telling them there has been a problem with the package.

Anyway to the FTP task...

I test my connection fine and I have configured other settings as follows:

the remote path is not a variable but should be in a library on the as400 called cfststfile. The login name I am using for the as400 should be hard coded to go to this cfststfile location only. I can use this login and password fine when using an external FTP client such as Ipswitch FTP Pro.

Remote Path: /cfststfile

The local path will probably be a variable eventually once I get the hard coded path to work.

It's to send files and they have to be ASCII.

Every time I try this it fails after 30 secs saying "unable to send files via FTP Connection Manager"!!!!!!!

I would have thought this would have been dead easy. I have checked with network guys across from me who have said I ahve domain admin rights to go anywhere on the network anyway and no firewalls are blocking me.

Does anybody out there have any ideas?? I have reasonably good skills on SSIS and I just can't believe that what I thought would be an easy part of my SSIS package is taking so long.

Yours in waiting.
