FTP using wso2 EI611 vs Apache-CommonsVFS3.6

  1. Created a carbon app using WSO2 ei611 using Inbound-endpoint-file.deployed on WSO2.
  2. Works good for local files.
  3. When given FTP url (ftp://username:password@servername/folder1/folder2/folder3), throws warn- error WARN FilePollingConsumer Unable to access or read file or directory : username":@"servername/folder1/folder2/folder3. Reason: The file does not exists!
  4. Used hexadecimal password in the url(as password had spl chars), still did not work.
  5. I changed all FTP folders/subfolders to 'chmod 777', still no luck.
  6. I know, EI611 use apache-commons-ftp. The error string, is used in this library.
  7. I then downloaded apache-commons-net-3.6 and used the same library and ran a FTP client java from WSO2 server machine , and it works fine , in
    connecting to FTP server, using java.

So, where's the problem? Hello, WSO2? care to answer?

Solution

  • adding vfs.passive=true did the magic. Thanks for the tip. I did saw this paramter earlier while developing, but ignored it, thinking, it is of no value.
