FTP 502 error

[JMAC]

I am using BOTS 2.02, amd trying to configure bots to send X12 files
via FTP to our VAN provider.
It seems the VAN's ftp server can only accept limited FTP commands,
and I got the following error messages in BOTS:
-------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):

return self.getresp()
File "/opt/Python-2.7/lib/python2.7/ftplib.py", line 219, in getresp
raise error_perm, resp
error_perm: 502 Command not implemented.
-------------------------

I tested with my own FTP server and it works fine (meaning is not my
setting problem).
Can somebody help to identify which FTP command failed, and how can I
disable it?

Thanks in advance,

hi John,

maybe this works:
in the channel: set ftpbinary (in the FTP specific data)
(than another ftp command will be used)

else:
in config/bots.ini there is a setting for generating ftp-debug data
that might give soem more information about what goes wrong.

kind regards,
henk-jan

Hi John,
This seems to be the problem command. There is "active" and "passive"
ftp. http://www.slacksite.com/other/ftp.html
In the channel there is a tickbox for ftpactive, give that a try.

I had a similar problem when ftp sending to an AS/400. Small files
were ok but large ones would fail... until I switched to active.

Kind Regards,
Mike

Thanks all.
I will give a try tomorrow morning and will let you know the result.

Yes the "ftpactive" plays the trick.
Thank you all for your helps.
