RE: Help with CFFTP
Actually, I'm trying to initiate an FTP session from the CF Server (a UNIX box) to another host machine. This script takes a list of file names, gzips them, and then FTPs the gzipped file to an external host for storage.

RE: Help with CFFTP
You are connecting to a server that does not have ftp services or ftp services turned on, so you get the 500 error. Most of the time it means that the FTP address is wrong. Check your connection by using the server attrib and see if that works. Then you will know that you need to change the connection value. -Original Message- From: Matt Lewis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 11, 2000 5:47 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Help with CFFTP I'm having some trouble with uploading a file with the CFFTP command and was wondering if someone could provide me some assistance.

Re: Help with CFFTP
Try connecting manually to the same server via an FTP client and see how long it takes to respond if you send it an invalid login. Could just be the way the FTP server (mis)behaves.

Re: Help with CFFTP
Thanks for the help, Jim. The strange thing is that it works fine if everything is valid (the IP, userid, and password are valid to get you logged in). If any of the three are wrong, I see this strange behavior. I have tried it without the timeout value being defined but saw the same behavior. I tried putting a RequestTimeout on the call to this page to make sure it wasn't the page itself timing out, and that also didn't work. I'll try the STOPONERROR change to see if that helps. Thanks.

Re: Help with CFFTP
Are you sure you're making the connection? Does it work when everything is valid? If not, the very first thing I'd do is test by using an FTP client and see if you can connect and log in. Then, I'd hard code the server address, username, password, etc. to see if you can do it from CF. Depending on the speed of other server and the network connection between the servers, your timeout may be too low. Can't hurt to test it with a larger value. At least for troubleshooting, try it with STOPONERROR = "No". Then test the values CFFTP.Succeeded, CFFTP.ErrorCode, and CFFTP.ErrorText to see if you can get more detail about the error that's occurring. You may want to keep this change for your production code as well, and handle error situations in your code. It's a pain, but can make for a more robust application.

Oops. it's getting late:-) You are looking for CFFTP so the port should be 21 I guess. >PORT="80" OR PORT="443" (id SSL) -- Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ To Unsubscribe visit http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists&body=lists/cf_talk or send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with 'unsubscribe' in the body.

Help with CFFTP
When I try using CFFTP to initially connect to an FTP Server but the userid or password is invalid, all I'm getting is a timeout on the CF page and no error returned via CFFTP. Here's the code I'm using to call CFFTP to attempt the login: Any pointers or ideas from folks on things to try? I've already tried wrapping the CFFTP call in a CFTRY/CFCATCH, but to no avail.
