CFFTP: OK here, not there.

Hello everyone,

I have a problem with a CFFTP code. It runs smooth from one server, but fails from another (where I have to develop it further into FTPS).

The error message I get is:

coldfusion.oroinc.net.ftp.FTPConnectionClosedException: FTP response 421 received. Server closed connection..

I did look up the 421 error code for FTP. It doesn't really say that much.

This is the actual tag where it get stuck:

<cfftp action="OPEN" username="xxx" server="xxx" port="21" password="xxx" connection="ftp">

I tried it with a passive connection (I read that somewhere in the connection with the 421 code) but that doesn't change anything.

Does anybody around here have an clue what the problem might be?

Thanks in advance.
Adrian

Hei elDonrico,

Thanks for the trouble. Yeah, that was it. The test servers IP didn't have the necessary privileges on the ftp server. I reckon, I could have thought of that before! Sorry about that. My head is so consumed by new stuff at the moment, that I can't think of the 'simple/logic' other issues.
