tFTPConnection (FTPS support option) login failed: 332 Account is Required

Todd-Schneider — Fri, 02 Jan 2026 14:45:42 GMT

Has anyone had to create a tFTPConnection using FTPS that requires an account when connecting to an EDI VAN? Account is required to direct the connection the appropriate mailbox.

I found that the underlying java component supports having three options (user,pass,acct). However the configuration in the componet doesn't have that option.

I was able to successfully connect when in debug by setting a break point on the ftp_tFTPConntion_1.login() and sending my own using all three parameters using "debug shell". Really looking to not have to use an additional software to collect files since Talend supports FTP.

Wondering if anyone has been to work around this issue simply using tJava?

Thank you for any thoughts.

Todd

Hello,

The component doesn't have the option to add "account" in the tFTPConnection, as an account is not a standard protocol to have.

You can actually see the logic for the FTP here:

https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-net/apidocs/src-html/org/apache/commons/net/ftp/FTPClient.html#line-2423

Talend code (open source) can be seen here:

And here's the FTP connection itself:
