Hi¡
I'm triying to upload some files to a UNIX pasive FTP server with "Ftp Commands" using this FTP Script:

USER z-tims-aci
PASS $PASSWORD$
PWD
PASV
$$LCD::$%ComprImagBatches::CurrentSubdirectoryPath%$
TYPE I
$$MPUT::.tif
TYPE A
$$MPUT::.xml
$$MPUT::.mkr

There is no errors and this is the log generated:

But when i try to open the image files they are corrupt but the XML is right

When I tri to do that using the "ftp" task and set the transfer type to Auto it works fine but my problem is that i need to do this transfer in a specific order, first the *.tif files, second the *.xml files and finally the *.mkr file and in the "ftp" task cannot specify the order of the uploading.

Maybe i need some moree commands to connect with the unix server?

Thanks and regards form Spain.

The script seems fine to me. Even the response indicates binary and ascii modes are set for .tif and .xml respectively. Not sure what else could be the problem.

options:
1) try the FTP-j command task
2) chain a FTP task (for .tif) and FTP command task for (.xml and .mkr)

Thanks Melvin for your quick response¡
Ok will try with FTP-J command task and will inform you with the conclusions, but i don't understand what the diferece is between FTP and FTP-J.
The second opton is not valid for me because i need to do all transfer in the same session and if I do it in two different tasks the program will login and logout two times.

Problem solved¡¡¡
Finally I've created a new FTP-J profile and a new ftp command task with this script:
$$LCD::$%ComprImagBatches::CurrentSubdirectoryPath%$

TYPE I

$$MPUT::.tif

TYPE A
$$MPUT::.xml
$$MPUT::.mkr

$$MLDEL::

And by now all is working fine, in fact i've found this thing in the log that i think solve problem

Ftp Commands - FTPFilesToAHE-J - Command : FEAT

Oct 15, 2009 12:43:58 PM

Ftp Commands - FTPFilesToAHE-J - Response : 211-FEAT

SIZE

MDTM

211 END


Could you explain me what means exactly the "FEAT" command?

Regards

FEAT is a command asking the server to list all the new features it supports.

for instance, if server returns MLSD in its feature list, then the client may use MLSD command instead of LIST command to get directory listing.

In that case i don't understand why it works with FTP-J but not work with FTP.
