Hi experts,
I was trying to connect to a SFTP server using FileInput node (user id and password). But I see the flow gets hanged after deployment and not able to pickup the file from the source folder. Though I am able to connect through winScp and AIX sftp command line. What could be the issue?
We have couple of other SFTP connection similar way .. but not sure why this does not works.
Thanks in advance. |

the issue could be a lot of things.
Did you follow the correct documented steps for configuring SFTP access, including managing keystores and issuing any needed mqsisetdbparms commands? |

Hi mqjeff,
Today I see some exception in my log -- "password authentication credentials invalid" .. But the same password works when we connect from winSCP. Any idea? |

Does password contain special characters? If so use mqsisetdbparms command in interactive mode to set password correctly.

Have you confirmed that the security profile you created with mqsisetdbparms is the one being used (i.e. that the user being sent is the correct one)?
Do you have access to the server logs on the sftp site, to see if they can tell you what credential is not being passed or accepted? |

@mqjeff,
Yes, I have double checked and entered the password interactively. I do not hae direct access to SFTP log. But when I asked them they said .. they see some rejected password failure. |

Does it tell them what userid is being presented?
I.e. it may be that you issued mqsisetdbparms for UserA, but this is not being picked up by the flow somehow, and so broker is sending UserB (and it's password). |

One more thing to add, though I have used the default FileInput node properties and scan delay is 60 sec. But in syslog I see the exception message at every 1 hour.
File node 'File Input' in message flow 'testSFTP' cannot log in to remote 'SFTP' server 'transfer.wilkeglobal.com' with user name 'henkel'. Reason: 'password authentication credentials invalid'. : |

| SFTP server configured using GlobalScape EFT Standard Server running on Windows 2008 VMware. Could there be any incompatabilities between Websphere and the used sftp? |
