FTP Time out

[Former Member]

Hi ,

We are using some 70+ channels to access a particular FTP server , the scenario is working fine but some times we get this error in communication channel :

Error connecting to FTP location :XX.XX.XX.XX:XX , this error remains for some time and after some time the channels starts works properly.

I understand this is due arises when there are too many FTP connection open, what are the parameters that we need to check and update in channel to avoid this recurring error.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, we are facing this issue in PROD.

You can change the Connection type .

11.      Select the Connect Mode.

u25CB       If you select Permanently, an existing connection to the FTP server is used. The connection is reestablished automatically if it is closed by the server.

u25CB       If you select Per File Transfer, a new connection to the FTP server is established for each file transfer.

also try to increase timeout value.

you can also see

Select Data Connection.

u25CB       The default setting for the data connection is Passive. 

Only change this setting if you have a specific reason. In passive mode, the client establishes a data connection to the port required by the server.

u25CB       If the mode is set to Active, the server establishes a data connection from its data port, port 20, to an end point chosen by the client.

u25CB       Under Timeout (secs), define the time interval after which the adapter is to cancel

the transfer if no data is transferred between the client and the FTP server. The adapter interprets this as an error.

Hi Abhishek,

In FTP communication channel, under FTP connection parameters. you will find an option called TimeOut(Secs).

Insert value for that parameter. Keep the value as 180 and try to check.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
