I know this question have been asked few years back but unable to find its answer in the same thread today.

 

I am using FTPCaller to download files from a remote SFTP server, I got logging in cridentials from the SFTP server admin and my computer is allowed to login to the SFTP server; which means there is no problem with connection and previledges. But FTPCallers responds with failed Initialization!

 

any suggestion?

 

Thank you!

Hello,

we had the same error due to Firewall rules. check firewall rules.  Ensure that the port is not blocked. If port 2222 used, pay special attention as this could be blocked as 22 is the most commonly used.

Yes you may need to change the port in the URL

also read on this article, calling sFTP requires typically a key pair generated each session using a couple of systemcaller’s and paegent (putty agent)... https://support.safe.com/hc/en-us/articles/25407554321805-Using-a-Private-SSH-key-with-FTPCaller-to-Authenticate-an-SFTP-Connection-for-FME-Form-and-FME-Flow-on-Windows-Systems
