Secure FTP User Authentication failed - Anyone Using CF sFTP?

[Guest]

I have the following code set-up to connect to a secure FTP server.  From everything I am reading this is correct and should work.

<cfftp action="open"

         username="username"

         connection="My_query"

         password="password"

         fingerprint="fingerprint hex code"

         server="server"

         secure="yes">

But on run, I get a user authentication failed error message.  I have been able to connect to the FTP server using Core FTP and the user/password.  I am able to connect to our non-secure FTP server without any issues.

Is there something else that must be configured or enabled to allow the connection?  Am I missing something?

Addition Info: We are running ColdFusion 8 on a windows box.

Still looking for help with this issue...

That 'fingerprint' property is a new one to me, I've never seen or used that before.

Whenever I have read about using secure FTP from the ColdFusion server, I read advice about installing a security certificate into the Java JRun4 license store.  But I have never had to do this, since I have never had to use ColdFusion to make ftp requests to a secure ftp server.

I second the secure certificate suggestion, this is a known issue if the ssl cert used by the secure server is self-signed I would think.  Google 'Coldfusion certificate keystore' or a derivation of that to find a command-line solution, or install Certman (http://certman.riaforge.org/) and do it from the CF administrator.
