Hi,
In IIB 9 (latest fixpack) Is it possible to configure a fileinputnode to use active FTP instead of passive, without having a configured FTP Server property? If so, how would I go about doing that?
Alternatively, is it possible to change the default for a whole broker to be active FTP?
The reason I ask is that Passive connections are deliberately disabled on the server I'm connecting to.
Thanks

I would hope that you could use SFTP these days....

Create a FTPServer configurable service and specify the service name in the FileInput FTP "Remote server and port" property.
You can specify the active FTP mode in the configurable service.
Edit: Didn't read your comment about not using configurable services  I would imagine you'll be out of luck then.

Don't forget that IIB/WMB looks for a configurable service to match the hostname set in the node first.
So even without changing the flow source, creating a CS definition of the same name as the FTP host name should allow you to control it.

That's interesting, thanks! Although it feels a bit unwieldy, like it's not an obvious link (I've not explicitly used the CS but it's still using it...?) - but good to have the option.
Thanks all for your advice |
