Error description
Protocol Bridge Agents should only send the 'CWD' command to FTP or SFTP servers if there is a leading slash character at the start of the: <file> element in the <transferSet>. For example, the <file> element could look like the following: <file>myftpserver:/MYFILE.EXT</file> This led to the error : 08:44:08.390.0Q 0011 [[FILE]PB-FTP-RX : 500 Syntax error, command CWD unrecognized . This problem is solved in WebSphere MQ Managed File Transfer Edition V7.5.0 Protocol Bridge Agents.
Local fix
Workaround: Use a double slash at the start of the filespecification, such as:equens://MFC.R0006245.VERWINF*.*.ZIP
Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: This issue affects users of WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition V7.0.4 who use a Protocol Bridge Agent to retrieve files from an FTP, FTPS or SFTP server. Platforms affected: MultiPlatform **************************************************************** PROBLEM SUMMARY: When receiving files from an FTP, FTPS or SFTP server, the Protocol Bridge Agent uses the information in the file specification it has been given in order to locate the file on the FTP, FTPS or SFTP server. The Protocol Bridge Agent breaks the file specification up into two parts: - The directory where the file is located. - The name of the file. It then issues the command: CWD <directory name> to the FTP, FTPS or SFTP server, to change into the correct directory, before requesting the file. The Protocol Bridge Agent assumed that the file specification would always contain a directory, which was incorrect. If the Protocol Bridge Agent was passed a file specification that just contained a filename, then it sent a CWD command with no arguments to the FTP, FTPS or SFTP server. This caused the FTP or SFTP server to return the error: 500 Syntax error, command CWD unrecognized to the Protocol Bridge Agent, which resulted in the file transfer failing.
Problem conclusion
The Protocol Bridge Agent has been updated to only send the CWD command to an FTP, FTPS or SFTP server if the file specification contains a directory path. --------------------------------------------------------------- The fix is targeted for delivery in the following PTFs: Platform v7.0 -------- -------------------- Multiplatforms 7.0.4.3 The latest available maintenance can be obtained from 'WebSphere MQ Recommended Fixes' http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=171&uid=swg27006037 If the maintenance level is not yet available information on its planned availability can be found in 'WebSphere MQ Planned Maintenance Release Dates' http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=171&uid=swg27006309 ---------------------------------------------------------------
