Workflow Soluiton

When I try to use the FTP components in Workflow to some Linux servers.   I get the following:  Unexpected null reply received at EnterpriseDT.Net.Ftp.FTPControlSocket

The FTP Upload and FTP Get All Files components both give me the error.  (After taking a very long time...)  So I think this is some kind of timeout.  I can use Filezilla with no problem to do the FTP.  

I am using port 22 for Secure FTP.  I have saved the key in the cache so I don't think that should be the problem.   Anybody have any ideas on what else I could try?

I don't think the FTP client in WF can handle the SFTP. I tried to configure this exact thing a few months ago and just could not get it to work. The component does not have any ability to autheticate past simple username and pass.

I ended up using putty to make the secure transfrer. There was an article on Workflowswat.com that talked about using putty to make a secure connection to Linux. From there is was easy enought to figure out how to make a batch file that would execute a putty script. This would in turn SFTP a file to a remote server.

This link may help with the command lines you need:

I ended up calling a putty script that did a WGet command to pull the file over.   Thanks!

It's called MultiTasking! I was half in the bag when I replied!
