Unable to establish FTP connections

Unable to establish FTP connections

avatar

DESCRIPTION
In my cloud profile, I've some FTP connection entries, from Android app when I try perform "Open" or "View" tasks on them, "Open" task return "Disconnected - FAIL" error message, and "View" outputs "The entry cannot be viewed!". I could think that may be a bug entry, but it really seems a missing feature.

It would be nice to have a feedback on this, thanks!

Hi,

Thank you for your feedback. Do you also use RDM Windows? If so, can you open your session with RDM Windows?

Hello Nicolas,
yes I use RDM for Windows too, and yes I can open FTP sessions without hassle on it.

Hi Valerio,

First, do you use an IP address or a hostname? If you use a host name, can you try to replace it with the ip address?
Second, are the FTP session credentials directlty in the session (username and password) or do you use the credentials repository, inherited credentials, custom user settings or other?

  • i use host names, and nothing changes even if i try to use ip addresses;
  • the credentials are stored in the FTP profile entry's tab "General", so a first level position;


Thanks.

Hi Valerio,

Unfortunately, the
logs do not give us a lot of info ☹

Normally when we try to view an entry and we do not
support it, the message: The entry cannot be viewed is displayed. 
However, it does not mean it cannot be opened.

Can you export your session with RDM Windows and send it to me (ndufour@devolutions.net).  You can change the password
for something like 123456.  I should be able to import it and see all the
details.


Best Regards,
