Web Connectors (http://localhost:5555)

tmumaw — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 21:26:37 GMT

I'm trying to use the SFTP connector. I have generated the script and when I try and run it I get an error saying field not found, but when I start up web connectors it runs fine. Do I have to change the Localhost to something different)?

Thanks

Hi,

From where are you running your script, from inside the server within the client version or from a different host?

Did you try to change the script from http://localhost:5555 into http://hostname:5555, do you get the same issue?

Cheers!

I was able to get it to connect and filled in all my parameters. When I click on the Save Inputs & Run Table it never finishes running. Only have about 200 records to bring down.

Let me know if you are seeing the same thing, we can see about getting you the patch if so.

Brett,

I don't get the error message, but like I said before after I click the button to execute it all it does is stay in a "Running" state and never finishes.

Thanks

I shouted at the product manager to see if I can get the link to the patch, that is likely worth a try here, as only thing of which I can think.

Hey Thom, I had to email the product manager to check, and I did notice in his reply to me he did not really give me a solid commit on the download site posting, but I asked him if he had a ballpark at this point, will shout tomorrow if he hollers back to let you know. Sorry for the delay.

Regards,
Brett

Hey Thom, update is live on the download site, let me know if you have any trouble getting it... If you can, confirm back with another post here that the update takes care of the issue for you, you can mark that post as the solution too, use the Accept as Solution button after you post it, that way folks will know things are good. Shout if you have any problems.

Cheers,
Brett

Thanks Brett. It now gets past the Running state however I get this message and I have changed the config file and I have tried stopping and restarting the services. I get the message access is denied when I try and write it out.

Thom, I only have a couple of things for you, one would be to try another SFTP client on that machine to be sure it can successfully connect etc., and the other is to review the Authentication methods allowed with the connector:

Authentication with username and password or public/private keys (SFTP).

Only thing I can figure is if you are using the keys, you may be missing the private key or something... I cannot see that there is any additional logging to check etc...

Brett
