Issues with SFTP Get Files command

Post by Artis_Wright »

Guten Tag!

I created a project that connects via SFTP and grabs a file to place it somewhere on our server. However, according to the debug I posted below, it looks like the connection closes after it attempts to get the file. I am at a lost as the only thing I am told by this debug is ERROR bad message and "Routing the control to the module 'failed'.

Code: Select all

Sorry about that, I knew I was forgetting something. Here is the code.

Code: Select all

<project name="FTP Rec" mainModule="Main" version="2.0" logLevel="verbose">

	<module name="Main">

		<sftp label="Harcros" resourceId="####" host="####" port="####" user="####" password="####" timeout="30" connectionRetryAttempts="1" connectionRetryInterval="5" version="1.0" onError="call:Failed">
			<get destinationDir="folderX" whenFileExists="rename">
				<fileset dir="folderY" recursive="false">
					<wildcardFilter>
						<include pattern="*.*.*" caseSensitive="true" />
					</wildcardFilter>
				</fileset>
			</get>
		</sftp>


		<exitProject version="1.0" />

	</module>

If you're SFTP resource is defined under your Resources, then you shouldn't need the additional information in your Project. It should just look like this:

<sftp label="Harcros" resourceId="####" version="1.0" onError="call:Failed">

Also, when retrieving all files from a folder, you can just designate the FileSet Folder without any filters. It should look like this:

<get destinationDir="folderX" whenFileExists="rename">
<fileset dir="folderY" recursive="false"/>
</get>

Try those changes and see what happens.

Guten Tag,

I tried what you suggested and got the same error message as before, it attempts to execute sub-task 'get' and then the ftp connection closes with a Bad message Error. "Routing the control to the module 'failed'". Here is the revised script.

Code: Select all

<project name="FTP Rec" mainModule="Main" version="2.0" logLevel="verbose">

<module name="Main">

<sftp label="Harcros" resourceId="####" host="####" port="####" user="####" password="####" timeout="30" connectionRetryAttempts="1" connectionRetryInterval="5" version="1.0" onError="call:Failed">
<get destinationDir="folderX" whenFileExists="rename">
<fileset dir="folderY" recursive="false"/>
</get>
</sftp>


<exitProject version="1.0" />

</module>

Guten Tag,

I managed to figure out what the problem was. It turned out to be a permissions issue on the server I was connecting to. Once I got that taken care of it worked without any further issue. A note to anyone reading this. It may not say anything in the GoAnywhere logs, but make sure you triple check permissions.
