Unable to dowload files trough my job using tFTPFileList and tFTPGet.

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I'am newbie in talend, i try to do my second job on it and i want to retrieve files from a distant directory using an ftp connection.

I followed exactly the step listed on the talend help website (here is the link https://help.talend.com/reader/wDRBNUuxk629sNcI0dNYaA/2Bh7tJbkdtVnEjl4Y4fuGA ), but i got an exception on my job execution which is below :

The ftp server configuration is OK, i tried to browse the distant directory and download files with my browser and everything works fine.

what should i do or post to get help?

Can anyone help please?

Hello,

I resolved my problem.

In the tutorial i followed, the connection mode of the tFTPConnection component was set to "Active". I did the same on my job, but it has to be set to "Passive". Since i turned it to passive mode, every thing worked fine, i was able to iterate trough my files and pull the file i wanted to download.

Keep it up.
