FTP-Voyager :

Using command line.

Want to upload (to my computer / plant network) files from a Fanuc robot.  The Fanuc robot stores teach pendent files and others files in directories on the robot's internal hard drive.

Using "get=*.*" will not work just as the help files indicate.  Alternate would be to use syncronization.

My question is how to use syncoption command.  The text in the help files are confusing as to which syncoption=1  or syncoption=0 writes to the local hard drive and does not write to the remote hard drive.

It is critical I get it right or I will wipe out the files on a robot and cause massive down time.  Once I figure it out then it's no problem, copy paste in batch file.  (not time to experiment on first time I try it !)

I will be reading all files from the robot and storing into an empty directory on the computer / network as a backup device.  The only time I will write to the robot(s) is when I need to restore a robot on an individual basis like after a power failure and a dead battery in the robot.  I will be writing a batch file with the task of backing up several hundred robots with several hundred files per robot.

(1) Is the syncronization method the best way ? ie: ftp-voyager can only do 100 timed tasks,  I need to have the batch file create and move to new directories under a folder for each robot, and capture all the files.

(2) How does the syncoption command work ie :

• syncoptions: The syncoptions flag specifies how a Synchronization will take place. To determine what value should be used, refer to the list at the bottom of this page. The value here must be a decimal representation of the sum of all applicable hex values. The simplest ones are syncoptions=0 (synchronize a remote folder to a local folder) and syncoptions=1 (synchronize a local folder to a remote folder)
• Synchronize a remote directory to a local directory: "C:\Program Files\RhinoSoft\FTP Voyager\FTPVoyager.exe" profile=YourProfileName autosync=1 syncoptions=1 local=C:\dat\ remote=/dat/ autoquit=1
• Synchronize a local directory to a remote directory: "C:\Program Files\RhinoSoft\FTP Voyager\FTPVoyager.exe" profile=YourProfileName autosync=1 syncoptions=0 local=C:\dat\ remote=/dat/ autoquit=1

The question is which one of these is right ?

Thanks

I am trying to connect to a vendor's MFT to upload and download files using.  I can connect using FileZilla but not FTP Voyager.  Here is a screenshot of the log showing the error I am receiving.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

Hello ,

I'm having the above problem since time has changed before two days. I 'm using the ftp voyager version 16.2.0.328.

I know that is a known issue on olders versions. but how ican resolve it?  the O.S is windows 2012 r2.

I am utilizing the FTP Voyager client to down a 10MB file over an SFTP connection.  It will download about half of the file and then fail giving an SSH_FXP_STATUS: status: SSH_FX_FAILURE; description: Invalid message length in SFTP protocol [808531500]  error message.  If I wait for the client to give the Disconnect message and then retry the download using the Resume option it will complete the transfer.  I have tried this with the 16.2.0.328 and the 16.0.2.0 clients.  Since this is a scheduled task, the resume option is not very practical.  Are there any options that I can configure to keep this connection working to complete the full download in one attempt

Hi everyone,

a long time ago I bought a license for FTP Voyager 15.x and I was very happy to hear that from now on it will be free.

So I went ahead to upgrade to the latest version. Unfortunately it still shows evaluation messages but this is already dealt with in another thread.

The bigger problem is that I can't access my saved server profiles any more. It's only possible to import .csv files and I didn't create these files before upgrading.

I uninstalled and tried to download my paid 15.x version in the client area on ftpvoyager.com where it used to be but now it only redirects to the new version.

This is bad because my server list was really huge and I don't want to enter all server details again.

So is there any way to get a copy of an old setup file?

Thanks in advance!

I need to upload a file to the bank.  The file is created by the user on demand.  I do not know at what time of day but the file needs to be uploaded within 30 minutes.  I created a schedule to run every 5 minutes from 00:01 to 23:59 daily.  I would like to limit this run to Monday - Friday but do not see how.  Also when this runs and the file does not yet exist it tries to connect to the target server.  I need it to only connect when the file exist.  I would like to use email notification of a unsuccessful upload but all are unsuccessful when the file does not yet exist.   

Hi

I am able to upload files to a remote destimation but there is

a problem downloading.

For example, when I donwload a csv, it downloads the

file name and extension of .csv but the contents is blank and is 0KB in

size.

Do you know what would be causing this please?

Best regards

Dan

Hi, All,

after to upload or download the files to  remote folder later,i want  to do  a backup of uploaded or downloaded  files and be copied to a local folder and delete files

Users transfer date to serv-U server with FTP Voyager.

User do also transfer data to some linux SFTP servers.

We used to have FTP Voyager 15.2.0.15 - everything worked fine.

Since updating to FTP Voyager 16.0.2.0 authentication
with linux SFTP servers fail (connection to Serv-U is still working) It seames that the password is not transferred to the server.

Whithout configuring user and password in server profile: I've been asked for a username - not for the password.

Hi All. I upgraded by FTP Voyager/Scheduler from v13 to v16. The interface I like along with the stability but I am having issues galore. So I'll post some and see what I get back. The questions below assume it worked fine in v13 and isn't or is doing something different in v16.

1) My downloads from Unix to Windows used ASCII and was fine. Now the CR (carriage returns) are being stripped and I can't figure out why or how to fix it. In global and profile options I have tried all 3 transfer modes. The file is still stripped.

2) My scheduler actions I have just the file to download and the local path I could use the variables for dates and also rename it from there. Now, if I use a variable or rename in that local path line, it creates a folder with the dates variables and put the file in side unchanged. <- driving me crazy.

3) Many jobs were failing saying "path not found" which I learned has to be the absolute path now. Is this true?

Any help with these would be great. I have had to write a bunch of batch files for temporary use until I can figure out how to make Voyager do it [again] like it has been.

Thanks all

I'm running this script on my PC1 with FTP Voyager version 16.2 but it does just open FTP voyager and DOES NOTHING.  No file transfer at all.

I checked and I do see 2 zip files inside d:\temp\ folder.  However if I take this same script and execute on another PC and it work fine.  This PC has same FTP voyager version and same configuration as PC1.

Can someone help? thanks.

Hello,

I have been going crazy attempting to upload files to another (Linux) server and I am getting errors.

once I figured out how to get the sites to show up when using the scheduler, i used the export and import rather then re-create accounts.

a users guide with examples would be really great!  i can find any such thing.

so the issue i am see is this...   I can connect using the browser and upload files with no issues.  when i use the scheduler, I have to specfiy the local and remote directories.  this is where things get interesting.  I am placed in a home directory on the remote side, so for the remote side I just use / and for the local side i click on the folder icon and navigate to the folder E:\folder\folder1  and I would assume that everything in folder1 would be uploaded.  Wrong! it tries to create the remotefolder2 and dose not have permissions and so it fails.  why is it trying to create folders?  in the help man, it says that the directory listed in the local and remote will grab everything in that folder and says nothging about trying to create that folder.  I just want to move files in that local folder1 to the remotefolder2.

the Actions I have tried so far is as follows:

Upload: "E:\localfolder\localfolder1" to "/"

Upload: "E:\localfolder\localfolder1" to "/remotefolder/remotefolder1/remotefolder2"

Upload: "E:\localfolder\localfolder1\*.*" to "/"

any trailing "/" or "\" are removed when you hit save.

when I add the /remotefolder/remotefolder1/remotefolder2 to the remote folder location, the error logs show it attempts to create remote directories remotefolder/remotefolder1/remotefolder2

I have changed the site profile advanced options \ file transfer \ transfer mode to Binary.

here is the thing i don't understand.  I can connect using the browser and see the remote site, and i can transfer files to and delete on the remote end with no issues at all and the logs are much smaller.  only when trying to use the scheduler is where things go goofy.

Is there a way i can have a schedule setup to send a file and move the file once sent to a SENT folder. ive used other Clients before where this is possible but im struggling to find an option to do this,

we have a folder full of files that need to be sent out over FTP, once the files have been sent the files will need to be moved to the SENT folder as a backup.

many thanks in advanced and hope there is something that can be done

I have setup FTP Voyager with the SMTP settings for gmail to send an email after FTP Scheduler completes a task. I have added the event, send email after task complete, however I do not receive an email.

Any help would be appreciated

Hi

I've referred to here by FTP Voyager support.

This is my first time I use FTP Voyager for scheduling file transfer, configuring task was very easy, but I still cannot make it work.

In the task action, I created a new action to download a specific folder (and all files and subfolders inside that folder to my local PC

In action information, I put the (Remote File or Folder) as: /FolderName

Nothing downloaded, and error in the log says:

Execution failed (Last Error Message: Unable to perform file action: Could not retrieve additional information about the source path.  Does the source path exist?).

I changed it to: FolderName (without slash).

Nothing downloaded, and same error in the log.

I then tried: FolderName/*.*

Log says: Execution successfully completed.

But in the local folder, I found it only downloaded files from main folder (No subfolders or files inside them), and some of them with ZERO size !!!!!

Again, I tried: /FolderName/*.*

Log says: Execution successfully completed.

I found that the ZERO size problem has been solved (files downloaded with correct size) but still cannot get the subfolders !

In the forum, I found a link to the older version (ver. 15.2.0.19)

I downloaded and tried it on another PC, It works like a charm, with no errors !

Can anyone here help me to figure out how to make the scheduler download the whole content of remote folder ??

Hi

I have set up the SMTP for the scheduler to use the smtp details for Office 365 which uses port 587. When the event attempts to run, I get an error saying

Unable to send message to xxxxxxxxxxx Unable to connect to SMTP server on port 25

1) Why is this failing?

2) Why is it saying it is using port 25 when I have told it to use port 587?

Thanks

Hi,

I'm trying to use FTP Voyager Scheduler to upload files on the FTP. But if the connection was disconnected during the files transfer, the scheduler was hang (still showing executing, but from the log, you can see that nothing is running).

Is it possible to solve this problem? Please kindly advice. Thank you.

I want to send a data including files and folders from local folder x:\xyz to remote folder / (Home directory mapped by ftp server). When I start schedule it creates a folder XYZ and the transfers the files and subfolders in xyz. I want to transfer files and folders to the remote location without transferring the local folder (here XYZ). Can anyone help regarding this?

Does anybody know how to get the scheduler to upload just files of a certain type from a folder instead of the whole folder itself?  I only want to upload all files with a certain file extension from that folder but the scheduler grabs the whole folder and all contents and uploads it.  Any help would be appreciated.

I have several tasks setup to run at different time intervals on a daily basis.

After the time change for Daylight Savings Time on Sunday morning the tasks run as scheduled and then stop and re-start continuously.

I have tried re-starting the service, updating the task scheduler time and re-booting the server all to no avail.

Has anyone else seen this or does anyone have any ideas on how to correct it.

I am on FTP Voyager version 16.0.2.0.

Never had this issue on any previous versions.

Is there a place to download version 15 again????
