sFTP macro

[Tropic]

Hi All,

 

I'm trying to automate a file retrieval from a remote site to a local sit.e

 

However, i can not even get it to ping. When i said the details in T1 "Cannot establish FTP connection. Only one connection is allowed at a time."

 

I know i got the right settings and have tried several different accounts.

 

Any help is appreciated.

 

Thanks

The FTP commands built into Macro Express are FTP, not SFTP. You could use Macro Express to automate an external SFTP program.

 

The message "Cannot establish FTP connection. Only one connection is allowed at a time." is coming from the host you are trying to connect to. Macro Express simply reports the message it receives from the remote host. Check the security settings on your host.

 

Your host computer may be set to allow only one connection. When I had a similar message I discovered that a mapped drive counted as one connection and prevented a second connection via FTP. To resolve it the security settings on the host computer had to be changed to allow more than one connection.
