Hi,

I’m working to write my files to an ftp server but its using FTPES protocol. I tried using FTPS but it doesn’t work and it seems that clover doesn’t support FTPES. Any thoughts?

Thanks.

Hello,

Clover doesn’t offer transfer through FTPS (neither in the explicit or implicit mode). If the server supports FTP or SFTP you could use those. If that’s not a possibility in your case, then you could use external FTP client which can be controlled from command line and make the transfer by calling from the SystemExecute component. For example “curl” should be option, see [http://www.lewisroberts.com/2010/08/06/ … with-curl/](http://www.lewisroberts.com/2010/08/06/scripting-ftpes-explicit-tlsssl-with-curl/)

Hi Marek,

Thanks. I appreciate your help. Also, I’m loading a huge amount of data using the http component and I’m just wondering if there’s a way to increase the timeout limit?

Thanks.

Hello,

there’s no specific timeout setting for the HTTP connector component. I’ve checked with a developer and he informed me that there’s no set limit for this. So the Clover should not timeout. Could you please provide us with the log of the graph run that times out? How long does the connection last? Isn’t it the server with the data that times out?
