Hi Guys,

I was facing the same issue, and figured out the root cause and wanted to share in the forum for reference.

When you use Advantco SFTP adapter and use a Proxy to connect to SFTP server,

1. Check if the SFTP server host name is resolving to any different IP address.

Temporary Fix:

Use the resolving IP address instead of Host Name in the Channel.

Perm Fix:

Adjust the rules in Proxy server to clear the cache in proxy server to get the host name resolved to correct IP address.

Hello,

I am suffering from exactly the same error message. I made a "Remote Desktop" connection to our PI server. I tried an sftp  client named WinSCP. It can connect to the sftp server. But my receiver communication channel cannot connect to that sftp host.

Any ideas will be appreciated.

Best regards

Hi Ramesh,

If you configured any proxy settings in channel Check the proxy server details.

Thanks,

Hi,

We dont use any proxy server. I can connect by using WinSCP sftp client tool installed on PI server.

if you are using authetication based on certificates, you need to install into keystore in PI and select in your sftp adapter.

which type of receiver CC adapter you are using?

as the message saying Forbidden, is it possible to connect from pi server, at command prompt level or with other tools to the target sever
