SFTP-Server Connection stops after several downloads

Dear Qlik Community,

ee have set up a working SFTP connection in our Qlik Cloud.
Downloading individual CSV files works without any problems, but when downloading with *, the download breaks off after a while with the following error message:

According to the server administrator, there are no restrictions on downloads set on the server. In the data connection settings (SFTP), I cannot specify/change any settings regarding downloads.

Does anyone have any experience with this?

Thanks in advance for any help!

FTP doesn't support wildcards on the file-layer or file-functions like filetime(). Workarounds may be:

  • enabling any batch-logic on the FTP-side to write the existing files into a list which is then used into a loop
  • looping against assumed files - especially if the file-names differ on period-information with/without applying an appropriate error-handling (ERRORMODE)
  • copy & paste the FTP content to a local storage per mget command and then all "native" file-features could be used
