file.ftp.FTPEx: 501 Unexpected reply codeUnknown extension in database file name

Former Member — Thu, 08 May 2014 00:30:29 GMT

Hi Folks,

I am trying to place file in the iSeries library folder and for this I am using a receiver file adapter with the following config, FYI, I am not using any FCC

Target Directory : /QSYS.LIB/XXXXX.LIB/

File Name Scheme : FILENAME.FILE

As I am doing this config for the first time I am using the following SCN discussion as my reference,

File FTP to AS400 Library folder | SCN

but i am still getting the error message at the receiver channel as below

Message processing failed. Cause: com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.MessagingException: An error occurred while connecting to the FTP server 'XXXXXX:21'. The FTP server returned the following error message: 'com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 501 Unexpected reply codeUnknown extension in database file name.'. For details, contact your FTP server vendor.

Please let me know if anyone has anymore suggestions.

Hi Kalyan,

Seems like a connectivity issue, Please check if the firewal rules/ port is open .

Also check if the necessary permissions are provided for the folder.

Thanks and Regards,

Naveen

Hi Kalyan,

The File Name extension that you configured is incorrect I think. Can you try to change the extension to .txt and try once.

File Name Scheme : FILENAME.FILE

Thanks,

Satish.

Hi Naveen,

There is no firewall issue and the port 21 which we are using is open.

Naveen,

Also I see I am able to connect to the iSeries Library using windows cmd prompt but not with winscp or filezilla. I am not sure if that is something which needs to be considered
