Manish,

1. 'rpmsacftp.rapidigm.com' -- Try using the Ip address instead of the hostname or check if the hostname entry has been made in the hosts file of your XI server.

2. If point 1 is done, check for connectivity from XI to the host by trying a Telnet on the FTP port 22 and see if connectivity is available and ports are open.

Hi Bhavesh,

Thanks for your quick response.

First step i had changed but not clear about second step. Can you tell me in detail how can use Telnet from XI to test connectivity.

Hi,

You will first need to log on to your XI box and then in the Command Prompt ,

TELNET IPADRESSS FTPPORT

MAnish,

Telnet is not a transaction, type the command from your run dialog box. Start-->Run.

Try that and check for the connectivity.

Instead of using TELNET, try to FTP from your XI box to the business system. Has to be from the command line of your XI system.

FTP 198.70.168.75

Sign on with user id and password used in comm channel.

Hi Manish,

Did you try the same in the browser. I mean form XI bok open any browser (IE) and type the url ftp://IP Address and check if you were able to access it. As I said before in my reply this kind of error ocurs if the port is not open or due to some proxy settings or coz of firewall which is preventing from the access.

Check all the above and I believe that should be the problem.

In this case, it sounds as if your business system is the FTP server, or it is taking the place of your business system.

Go to the command line of your XI server.

enter the following command:

FTP <ip address>

And then sign-on using same credentials as your communication channel is using.

Hi Manish,

A few things which are worth checking are:

1) The Ip address given is correct.

2) The login details given in File receiver adpater are right

3) The server is running when you make the transfer, that is 'Allow logins' status is checked in case of guild FTP server or similar servers.

4) The destination directory is given as "/root" with "/" slash. If its a FTP server then the file needs to be in root folder.

5) All the firewalls are turned off.

6) File processing mode is 'Delete' to be sure your file is being picked up..

Cheers,

Ashish

Hi,

This error because of either you are behind the firewall or there is a proxy. Check out that..

Thanks,
