Question

FTPCaller won't upload file with double extension e.g. "file.csv.gz"


Badge

Hi we are trying to use the ftpcaller to upload a file to an SFTP server.

 

We can upload the file successfully with the filename "file12345666.gz"

 

When we try to upload the file with the filename "file.csv.gz" it does not upload successfully.

 

We have debug logging turned on and logs look like it appears to upload successfully, and the file size is correct but it simply does not appear on the remote server.

 

It seems to be a bug with the ftpcaller. Anyone noticed this or have a work around at all?

Hi @sossie07​ I was able to upload a file to an FTP with the name "PublicArt.csv.gz" without any issues. The file appears in the FTP and is downloadable. May I ask what version of FME you're using? I don't see any bug tickets that mention a fix for this problem but if you're using an older version of FME this could have been a bug that used to exist.

A screenshot of your FTPCaller parameters would also be helpful (make sure to remove any sensitive information). If you're also able to share a sample workspace and dataset with us that would help too! Thanks
