java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I am getting the below error for a FTP sender CC

Error occurred while connecting to the FTP server "IP address": java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out

And I hav'nt mentioned the any value for Timeout parameter in the sender CC config, is that causing any problem.

As it is occuring in the Production, couldn't be able to play with it.

Please suggest how can I ping the FTP server from XI box and to rectify this issue.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Check whether the FTP Site is accessible from your XI Server OS level.

You can use the the FTP commands.

Which is your XI Server OS ??

try FTP <hostname> ...followed by userid / pwd (ftp server).

after connecting try to read/write/move files.

using get, put and rename ftp commands..

Use the xi installation OS user for this purpose .

If this works problem is due to incorrect channel parameters.

Also in the channel try giving the absolute path of the ftp folder.

rgds,
