Hi @samanazizgeomap, thanks for your question.

How have you specified the host name for you subscription? If your sftp site is accessed at something like sftp://ftp.myftpserver.com, the host name should be ftp.myftpserver.com in your subscription. In my testing keeping the sftp:// part resulted in the same "Host name is invalid" error for me.

Hope this helps.

Hi Nathan, Thank you very much for your answer. actually I'm using sftp://ip-address, ip-address is numeric. I guess that cause the problem. I changed it to ftp.ip-address but of course it wouldn't work since it needs to be ftp.myserver.com. I will ask around if I get proper ftp link. but why FME server doesn't recognize ip-address? it's easy to open in WinSCP.

Thanks again.

Saman Aziz.

@samanazizgeomap did you try just the ip-address as the host? It seems to work for me.
