FTPeek by 360 Works

While troubleshooting an issue for a client that uses FTPeek, I realized that the version of the FTPeek plug-in was not the current version. The issue they are experiencing appears to be with the external target of the FTP transfer, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to update the plug-in version. After manually moving the new plugin file to the Extensions folder and reopening FileMaker Pro, the dialog 'Preparing plug-ins for first use' dialog appeared as expected. Unfortunately, the system was unable to successfully download and install the supporting files. I have verified that the 'Allow Solutions to Install Files' option is enabled in Preferences. I also removed…

admin console can see it, when selected name goes blank and plugin does not load... clues???

I'm having intermittent issues with a client who is using FTPeek on FMPA18. Periodically the plugin will not be enabled, but clicking on the tick button in the Plugins tab of the Preferences dialog enables it. Do you have any advice on how I can troubleshoot this? Anecdotally, it appears that this happens when FileMaker Server is restarted, but I have not been able to verify this. Thanks in advance.

I have FTPeek deployed in a multi-user environment where it's been working for some time, their current license is up to v2, but some users still use v1. On a new Windows machine running FM 18 and FTPeek v2, we are getting a unique problem - when the script is run by the user and gets to the FTP step, it just stops, the user sees a white screen, with the hourglass, and it never changes. If she presses Escape, the script stops, the window can be closed, but Filemaker stops responding and eventually will need to be force quit. If I run the script with script debugger on the users' computer, it steps through each step with no error. But every time it runs on its own, it stop…

GetFile info produces ERROR for a remote filename which exists on the server when using the "moddate" option. When using FTPeek_LastError the error description is: File "/private/afbeeldingen/9503267478663_1.bmp" does not exist on server! But when i change the "moddate" InfoType to "size" the Plug-in returns the correct number of bytes. Using FM pro 19.2.1.14 on OSX Big Sur 11.1. with plugin version: V3.0 Whats wrong here?

Hi, I have FM file converter that converts excel files into two csv files that needs to be uploaded. Ideally i want to leave it in the background, i know how to upload a specific file to ftp, but can't figure out what i need to do so it scans the folder and only uploads new files in that folder? Any help/tips appreciated.

We have a solution that uploads a text file to an FTP site and then checks for any text files for download. The process has run great on macOS for a number years. Unfortunately, we were running this process as a robot on an older Mac Mini and are no longer able to update the macOS beyond High Sierra. As a result, we moved the process to a Windows OS machine so that we could run FileMaker Pro 19. We had been running without issue for about two weeks, but began encountering this error today. I downloaded a fresh copy from the 360Works download page to ensure we are running the latest version. I also downloaded a fresh copy of the JRE 1.8.0_152 and replaced the existing…

UPDATE: I was using the wrong path. My bad. It works. Doesn't move but copies so I then delete it after moving. I'm trying to move a file that is in the Root (so the path is just the file name) to a folder in Root called "Moved". When I use FTPEEK_Rename with (" filename.pdf";"/Moved/filename.pdf") it deletes the file and it never appears in Moved. I tried this and (" filename.pdf";"Moved/filename.pdf") and same thing. Any suggestions? Using FMP 19 on MacOS 10.14

I have successfully captured the list of files on the remote server. I loop thru them and can grab the moddate and then download the files successfully. But one file, even through it successfullly provides the moddate and downloads, it errors when using getfileinfo "file info" to the the file's size. I use the FTPeek_SetErrorCapture to keep from hanging on the error. But it says the file doesn't exist but yet the step finds the moddate and then successfuilly downloads it. The file does exist but what causes the error? This is one file out of 41 files. It doesn't appear to be any different, other than name. Using FTPPeek version Version 2.3 and FMP 18.0.3.317 and r…

I have been able to download files to a local directory. But I can't seem to have it download to a mounted directory. Is there a path syntax for a mounted volume? I've tried "filemac://Volumes/ShareName/FirstFolder/File.txt" and "/Volumes/ShareName/FirstFolder/File.txt" and "filemac://ShareName/FirstFolder/File.txt" and "/ShareName/FirstFolder/File.txt" ------- all generate an error. Can you write to a remote volume or do you have to download locally then move the file remotely? Using Mac OS 10.14.6, FMP 16.0.3.317

Hi all, I have registered version (Workgroup License) of plugin and it is used on Windows Server 2012R2. Everything works perfect instead of function "FTPeek_ChooseFile". Sometimes it works but more often not. When it fails, it shows message "java.lang.InternalError: couldn't create component peer". Attached error message. It fails if on both parameters, "files" and "directories" FTPeek_ChooseFile("";"directories";"Choose a file to upload") FTPeek_ChooseFile("";"files";"Choose a file to upload") Can someone send me advise how to solve it? Thank you in advance, Veselko

My users like using a FTP client as they can upload files "in the background" and keep working in FM. When I want them to upload the files straight through FM, I get compliance issues because of this (files could be 500Mb). If the file is already on the FMS I do PSoS, but when it's on the client desktop using FM will block them from working in FM during upload. Is there a good way to achieve uploading from the client in the background, without blocking FM?

I tried using this function to keep the connection active, but it seems it still gives me "1" even when the FTP server has disconnected. If I connect, then use this to check every 30s, then leave it for 10 minutes or so and then try uploading/downloading a file I get error as if I am no longer connected. Is it actually checking with the FTP server? If not using this function, any suggestions on how to keep the connection active (we are talking minutes, not hours)?

I'm trying to connect to a FTP Server that uses "Connect to your STORM server using FTP with TLS/SSL" I'm getting the Hanshake failure error. I am using the FTPS connect Script step. Any ideas.

Hi, In command line, and using FileZilla, I can connect to SFTP by using username, server IP and a private key (.pem). In FTPeek v. 1.67, it seems that the public key is also required - I'm not sure about the password. How come? Is there a particular reason for this? Is there a proper procedure for connection using a private key file? Is there a list of the supported private key file types/formats? /David

I assume to run on FM Cloud I install the FM Cloud version of the plugin. Does this work Mac/Windows or do I seperately have the start up script install Mac and Windows versions and the cloud version only goes on AWS.

I don't see a function to move file from FTP root to a sub folder and create directories on the fly (if they don't exist) - is this something that is done with RENAME or would come kind of execute command be needed?

I am testing a proof of concept for a new project using FTPeek latest version using the FTPeek Sample Client Enter the credentials the same as I put into Transmit. However when I try to connect FMP just beach-balls - and FMPA stops responding and I have to force quit. I have no issues with a FTP client.

Looking for any help in decoding this log file entry. I have a server side script that uploads several thousand images, and about half the images fail to upload. This entry is recorded for each of image that won't upload. SEVERE: PluginFunction PluginFunction{name='FTPeek_UploadFile', minArgs=null, maxArgs=2} got an error with converted args [/Load_Image_A0518_2018_12_19/, /Users/Shared/SuperContainer/Files/Auctions/15269/15269_233/08.jpg/08.jpg] at com.prosc.ftpeek.FTPeekPlugin.FTPeek_UploadFile(FTPeekPlugin.java:947) WARN : C++ Plug-in function FTPeek_UploadFile executed inside of script [UTL] Server Side: Auction Load Export and Upload

Scratching my head on this one. I'm running a server side script that uploads hundreds of .jpg files to a remote ftp server. For some of .jpgs files, the upload just fails. I'm using a calculated file path reference, but have hard coded it to confirm it's not a reference error. I've check the 360 log file and there's no error message recorded. On the remote ftp server, the connection eventually times out due to my script trying to upload a long list of .jpg files (all of which fail). Any thoughts on why the upload would file are welcome.

Using 360Works FTPeek 1.67 Connecting to FTP returns this error after some delay. Running Mac Mini 2014, FM 13 Advanced. Help?

We are having an issues with the FTPeek 2.05. The same code ran perfectly fine under 1.67 With: $filename= shopping_cart.php WebPages_Connex::output_to_web is a text field containing text only (php code) The previous commands to connect and change directly don't report any errors and this happens on all platforms.

On our FileMaker 14 Server I have installed the FTPeek plug-in. I am using this plug-in in a server side script to upload pictures to our webserver. At first we got a huge log file in Program Files\FileMaker\FileMaker Server\Log\360Plugin Logs (up to 70GB in 24 hours !!). So I modified the logging.properties file as suggested in http://docs.360works.com/index.php/Plugin_log_files#Logging_Level and added 'com.prosc.level= OFF'. I also restarted the fmse and even the server itself. But surprisingly the log file still contains lots of INFO messages like: INFO : C++ Handling a child response CodeToParent::is_empty Jul 10, 2017 03:30:24 PM C++ <Unknown> INF…

On two Filemaker Server machines I manage, I cannot get FTPeek to activate. After checking the checkbox, a grey message appears appears stating that the plugin was enabled, but the checkbox is unchecked. I have checked the permissions of the plugins. Both owned by fmserver and group fmsadmin. I have restarted the machines. I have tried Wim's suggestion of installing with server-side script. Both have Java 1.6 installed. Both have the BaseElements plugin installed and successfully enabled. Both are running FMS 14.04. One is a Mac mini running Yosemite, with Core 2 Duo processor and 8gb. Other is a Mac mini running El Capitan with Core 2 Duo and 4gb.

The plugin crashes Filemaker Pro Advanced, v15.0.3, when I execute FTPeek_DownloadFile(). The file actually does download. Next step is the error script and that never reports. Filemaker just beach-balls. Running Mac El Cap 10.11.6.; 16gb RAM. Not yet on server; just testing in development. Gary Gnurps

In version 1.67 on FM14 i get unexpected result of ScanLocalDirectory. As result I get all subfolders and files within subfolders. Using Windows 7 enterprise, 64 bit, and also on Windows Server 2012 R2. Using FM13 and version 1.642 I only get files within the chosen folder, no subfolders or files from subfolders. Bug or feature?

When I try to activate 360Works_FTPeek (v1.67) on my freshly installed OS X Yosemite with FileMaker Server 14, nothing happen in the web UI (except that the logs say that FileMaker ScriptEngine crashed suddenly) I then took a look at FM logs, and found this (files cleaned just before enabling the plugin) : stderr: Unable to find any JVMs matching architecture "i386".

Filemaker Server 14 Windows Server 2012 R2 FTPeek 1.67 --------------------------------- I have been getting (what I am assuming are) error logs in C:\windows\temp titled 360out*some hash number*, that are just under 40GB each and are eating up the drive. Yes, that is Gigabytes and isn't a typo. Any help on managing this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I'm creating a script where I login with SFTP into an Asterisk/LInux PC to download voice files and voice mails and import them into a FileMaker solution. Use the FTPeek plugin. Login goes fine, collect filepath from the cdr table, download file with SetField and FTPeek_DownloadFileToContainer( filepath ) Everything works fine, accept instead of an interactive container, I get only the icon. When I drag the file out and in the container again, everything works fine. I can't think of anything I did wrong but can't solve this issue and yes I set the container field to "interactive container" in the Instpector/Data/Data formatting :-) I did read the docu…

Hi, Does anyone know if FTPeek supports SSH Key Pair Files or in any way? We have built a system using FTPeek to upload and download data to a 3rd party SFTP site, all working great, except the 3rd party now want us to setup an SSH Key Pair and provide them the public key, and control the security from our side, but I am unable to get FTPeek to connect without errors. Has anyone done this? Many thanks for any help that you can provide. -- Orlando

Any thoughts on why FTPeek is downloading empty files. First attempt at downloading - have functioning upload code - but something is breaking. I can login to the FTP server, I can query the remote directory and get a list of files there but when I download I get a file with the right name but no content. eg. I can ask "www.wonfuji.net/download" for a file list using FTPeek_GetFileList. I can parse the list to get a file name. But when I use FTPeek_DownloadFile("www.wonfuji.net/download/1234.csv"; $Desktop) I get the correctly named file but it has no data in it. Just ERROR, even though a file is created. Stephen

I'm new to installing plugins. I setup a container field, loaded the file and ran a script to enable plugin. I was getting a java not installed error. I run the script now and it does nothing that I can tell, trying to run it again crashes filemaker. WIndows 7 system 64 bit Filemaker 15

Hi, I have got FTPeek working with another companys SFTP site, and all is going well, until I needed to connect to another server of theirs. If I use exactly the same function for SFTP, with correct IP Address username and password I get “Could not authenticate SSH client: FAILED” Another test of adding 990 to the IP Address “###.###.#.#:990” and specifying “ImplicitFTPS” I get an error “The remote computer does not appear to support the SSH protocol” I am able to connect using FTP Voyager with the same details, includeing "FTP over SSL (Implicit) Port 990" I have also tried the FTPS and get a “Read timed out” error.

Good morning, I'm having this error while uploading a file to a FTP server: "data channel timed out due to not meeting the minimum bandwidth requirement" I've used FTPeek to download files from the same server without problems, but while I try to upload a .csv file I have this error. I'm using the normal FTPeek_ConnectFTP connection. I've also tried to upload a .jpg and a .zip, but I Always get this error. What happen is quite strange... I see the progress bar advance normally up to the 99% but then stops there for about one minute and I receive that error message, In the meanwhile If I keep an eye on the folder on the server I see that the file appears, b…

Hi <REDACTED> User was suffering from Friday as well as brain meltdown and general stupidity. Stephen

I'm doing some testing of uploads from container fields (externally stored, open storage), with files in the 30-50 MB range, using FTPeek_UploadFileFromContainer with FTPeek 1.67 on a Mac OS X 10.10.5 with FileMaker Pro Advanced 13 using a local FileMaker file, and I find the upload times to be significantly longer than with an FTP client. I haven't done any detailed benchmarking on exact differences yet, but one file (54 MB) took 4.5 minutes to uploading using FTPeek (not including the time to connect etc, just the upload itself). Using FileZilla, it took 59 seconds (which already is bad enough, but I don't have a good upload speed where I'm testing this, and neither do…

Weird issue here. Running FMS 13.0v5 and FTPeek 1.66 enterprise on OS X 10.10. I am working on a script A calling FTPeek upload to FTP. Script B calls script A as part of an overall process. When i call script B from script A with usual Perform Script, everything works fine. However when i call it with Perform Script on Server (PSoS) - which is supposed to be supported by enterprise license - the script basically hangs. Then the FMS Admin-Console Activity/Clients shows a client connection as "FileMaker Script" which will basically won't leave the queue - even if I send a disconnect message. Only way to solve the issue is restart the entire host...! When running in de…

Hi, I need to know the correct way to handle variable in FTPeek. Have this and it is working: FTPeek_ConnectFTP( "192.168.0.55" ; "" ; "" ) and $$ipnumber, is set to 192.168.0.55 FTPeek_ConnectFTP( $$ipnumber ; "" ; "" ) gives error sometimes in loop in connect to server. or is there a better way to set global variable?

Hi, I'm having a new FTPeek error using FileMaker 13 that I did not have when we were using FMP 11 last week. Some random pdf and xlsx file uploads are returning an error even though they appear to upload correctly. I then get a Time Out Error in response. This is not happening for jpg files. All I can figure is it might be a larger file issue? Regardless, is there a known reason for this or a recommended troubleshooting process? We've upgrade to OSX 10.10 and FileMaker Pro 13 in the past week, running off FileMaker Server 13. The FileMaker Server 13 machine is running on OSX 10.8.5, should I upgrade that to mavericks or Yosemite? Â The fact that each failed upload sto…

Is there a function that will return an error or 1 if the file I want to upload if it already exists? The idea is that if the file exists, I do not want to overwrite it, I want to capture the error or result then give the user the option to rename the file that is going to be uploaded.

I have a client using Windows 8 that is getting an error when trying to auto-update the new version of FTPeek. We're using the 360Works hosted update database. It worked fine on a Mac at the client location using the same database. The error is "FTPeek failed to initialize". When I looked in the extensions folder, the new plug-in was there with a .new extension and the old one was intact. Any ideas what would cause this?

Hi I have a filemaker 13 database where I download a text file from a FTP server and places it in the same folder as the database is, I the add some text to it and the upload it back to the FTP server. The strange thing is that to get a path i use "get(filepath)" witch is "file:/XXX HD/Users/User name/...." it works great when downloading the file but when I wan´t to upload it I get an error saying "no such file og directory". After some trying I have figured out the I need to start the Path with "/Users/user name/...." Why is it that it's not the same path? My os is OS X yosemite

Having trouble registering FTPeek on a new windows server that we are upgrading to. Interestingly, it was working fine on our old FileMaker 12 server, but can't get it to register on the new FileMaker 13 server. If I use a filemaker client and run the script it registers fine and reports back: 360Works FTPeek v1.642 Major Version: 1 Type: Enterprise License On the server it loads and enables the plugin, but when I try to run that same script it hangs on the register script step (I played around with where I put an exit script step and am sure it is on that one script step). It never finishes that script step and the routine just sits there and runs forever.…

I am doing a simple file upload. FTPeek_UploadFile ( " " ; $file ) The connection to the server says its fine no errors and value of 1. The above starts the upload dialog but it hangs till it gets this error. If I log in with my FTP client using same credentials and drag the fuel into the directory it works fine. So I am not sure where to even go from here. This is the 1st time connecting to this FTP account. But I do use FTPPeek all the time and have not run into this before. One thing different is this directory is almost always going to be empty because it is swept by some FTP function almost immediately and moved somewhere else. I did however FT…

I am having issues in installing ALL 360works plugins on Filemaker 13 server. I am trying to install a current download of the portfolio licenses so that all will be there should I need them.

Furthermore, server always says "Not Loaded" in the Plug-in name column and I cannot save. Please see the screen shot attached.

We are using FTPeek 1.642 on our FileMaker Server (12.0.4.405) to transfer files to a sftp server. It works well most of the time. Every once in a while, however, we get an error message that seems to imply that the public key function did not work correctly. This message reads: ========= Export to [...] failed: Couldn't connect to sftp server - java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Public key: ERROR is not a valid key, make sure FTPeek_GetPublicKey() function is not returning ERROR ========== Why does this happen? Is there a way to correct for it? (Further possibly valuable info: Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard, Java 1.7.0_17b02)

Installing Java 32 bit, cripples the FMS Admin console, both on the server itself, and thru remote access, both of which worked under 64 bit Java.

I have the latest version of FTPeek (1.642) installed on windows with filemaker 12 and 13. Whenever I go to edit --> Preferences --> Plugins and try to enter the registration details, filemaker crashes. I was using an old version of java and have updated to the latest one. It still crashes on both Filemaker 12 and 13 on windows 8.1 The script steps also aren't working to save the registration details, however I do get a successful (1) result from the script Filemaker crashing periodically with the plugin installed. Please assist.

It seems that, when you download a PDF to a container field using FTPeek, the resulting field data conforms to the behavior of the native "Insert file", which means that the container field will just display the file icon, but not the actual PDF the way you get if you use "Insert picture" or "Insert PDF" and an interactive container field. So far I've tested this in FMPA 12.0v5 on OS X 10.8.5, but I would expect this behavior to be the same across platforms/versions. This obviously makes the use of FTPeek a lot less interesting when you do need to display interactive content. Does anyone know of a way to make this work? Could FTPeek be modified to integrate this …

I just noticed that a downloads with FTPeek seem to be significantly faster on Windows than on the Mac - even though I'm testing this while running Windows 7 under Parallels on the same Mac I use for testing. In one of my tests, downloading 50 files took 2:37 on Windows and 4:56 on the Mac. The same downloads done using Insert from URL took 4:44 on Windows and 5:05 on the Mac. I consistently got very similar numbers in multiple tests with different sets of files to download (all from the same FTP serve though). Has anybody else noticed this/does someone have an explanation?

Good morning, I have a script that upload an image .jpg from a file container FTPeek_UploadFileFromContainer( FTP Path; ImageFieldContainer ) It goes correctly, but if the file that i'm uploading is already in the FTP, it doesn't overwrite it and gives me a Permission Denied. What do i have to do to overwrite the file?

I have updated a test machine to Mavericks this morning to check for any compatibility problems. One issue I have found is that Filemaker Pro and Filemaker Pro Advanced 12.0.5 will not launch under Mavericks if FTPeek is in the extensions folder. Filemaker presents the dialog saying that a Java SE 6 runtime is needed. The machine in question already has Java 1.7_45 installed. If I remove the FTPeek plugin from the Extensions folder, (a restart is required after this if you've already tried to launch Filemaker as Filemaker claims it has been modified otherwise), then Filemaker launches fine on Mavericks. I have the latest version of FTPeek (1.641).

Just updated W2K8 server to FMS 12v2 and java to 1.7 and now the plugin will not enable. "Failure to load" plugin is reported in the FMS logs. Downloaded the newest version of the plugin (1.6.3) - still the same issue. Deleted all java temp files, disabled java 1.7 from the control panel (still has 1.6.29 and 33) - still the same issue Rebooted the machine and restarted FMS a few times, no joy. Any ideas?

I'm having trouble registering the FTPeek plugin via a startup script. The database is on a FileMaker 11 server, startup script will run an autoupdate script to check for and install the plugin. Then run the register function to register the plugin. Register will succeed and return a 1, however when I check the license with FTPeek_LicenseInfo it says it is "unlicensed" If I manually register the client plugin on the end user workstation, it's fine. Even if I delete the license info in the configure plugin in the client after that, and it goes back to demo mode, the startup scrip will correctly register the plugin. On the clients that don't work, if you look at the plu…

During DevCon, I thought I heard someone mention that it was possible to upload files from SuperContainer to the FTP directory for an externally hosted web site. I've tried to do this using the Sample Client file that comes with FTPeek but cannot get the file path correct for our SuperContainer location which is in the Shared folder on our FMS MacPro. Will this only work if the Sample Client file is also hosted by FMS? Please help!

I'm trying to try your demo plugin. I'm my local machine works perfectly, but as soon I installed in the same FMP11, but in a server windows 2003 R2, I get this message: "..require Java 1.5 or later...". I had in this machine: Java 7 update 25 & J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 update 10 too. What we need from java here? Any suggestion will be apreciate !!

What does this error mean? (Software caused connection abort: socket write error) I receive it when trying to download a file I am using version 1.641 on windows server 2008

I have a script that... 1) Gets a file list with FTPeek_GetFileList 2) Download the first file 3) Delete the file from the remote FTP directory 4) Repeats until the directory is empty Every so often a recently deleted file shows up in the results of GetFileList. Is it possible for GetFileList to receive a cached file list, or for the remote FTP server not able to keep up with directory file manipulations? Thanks, Max

I'm having a big issue at a client site with FTPeek v1.633 on Windows XP SP3. I can't get it to load when FileMaker starts up. The following error keeps getting thrown: 360Works plugins require Java 1.5 or later, which is not installed on this computer. Download it from http://www.java.com (error 1) I have verified that Java is actually installed. In fact, Java 7 and Java 6 are installed. I went ahead and updated Java 7 to the latest version and disabled Java 6 with no change in behavior. I disabled Java 7 and enabled Java 6....no change in behavior. I tried logging in as a different user, reinstalling FileMaker 12, restarting the computer. N…

I'm using the FTPeek plugin dated March 29, 2013, within FMP 11 Advanced (Mountain Lion), and a script I use to indicate the SFTP connection status shows that the SFTP connection ceases after only 60 seconds of idle time. How is this fixable? I've tested the same user via command line SFTP and no disconnection occurs.

Hello, I have working code that uploads files to an FTP server using FTPeek 1.61 and FM Pro Advanced 10. It also works with FM Pro Advanced 11. I'd like to switch to using an SFTP server, so I added the necessary lines to get the public key and connect to the sftp server. Unfortunately, the FTPeek_UploadFile command that works fine with the FTP server isn't working with the SFTP server. When called, the progress bar appears and stays stuck at 0%. The CPU load for Filemaker goes to 99%. A check of the SFTP servers shows that the file has been created, but is 0 bytes in length, with a date of Dec 31st, 69. From OS X's terminal I'm able to sftp into…

When attempting to connect using SFTP using FTPeek_ConnectSFTP function, FTPeek_LastError returns "Failed to read messages". I attempted to resolve the problem by downloading and installing the latest version of the plug-in today. That did not resolve the issue. I've attempted to run the script from Filemaker 12 Advanced and Filemaker 12 Server.

When I use FTPeek_ConnectSFTP from a Mac, I connect with no problem. Using the same script on Windows returns an error on the public key. The FTPeek_GetPublicKey returns slightly different results on the two platforms as noted below. Neither format seems to work in the Windows script. FTPeek_GetPublicKey on Mac returns: ssh-rsa AAAA[...] FTPeek_GetPublicKey on Windows returns: ---- BEGIN SSH2 PUBLIC KEY ---- AAAA[...]---- END SSH2 PUBLIC KEY ---- Andy Kappy

We have one client that we have a lot of trouble with including FTPing data using FTPeek. The most common error that we get is: "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space" We are not Java programmers. Can someone tell me what that means and maybe point me in a direction for getting it resolved? Thanks in advance.

There are a couple of threads on here directly related to FTPeek not working with the latest version of Java. It appears the issue is related to how Java works with Windows: http://fmforums.com/forum/topic/84735-connection-reset/ What I am wondering is if there is going to be a fix for this? I have multiple users getting Java update notices - though informed to not update - some do, then the process of unstallation and reinstallation of Java with all of the associated "end user frustration". So what I guess I am wondering: will there be an update to FTPeek to fix this? Are there specific instructions someplace as to a workaround (I understand it being a …

This is the error I get java.lang.IllegalStateException: FileMaker called plugin on thread: Thread[main,5,main]; but plugin is trying to call back to FileMaker on a different thread: Thread[AWT-EventQueue-0,6,main]. This is not allowed. Please help/Johan

I could not find the account/password for the file to allow us to view the scripts. Can you please let me know? Thanks. tim

Running an enterprise license - everything has been working fine on multiple machines - just setup a new 64 bit Windows 7 machine. Installed and started up filemaker, opened remote file - first error was that java was not installed and FTPeek needed it - no surpise as (again) new machine. Closed filemaker - downloaded most recent java version (version 7 update 5) - downloaded (automatically) as 32 bit as IE is a 32 bit version. Started up again - filemaker starts fine - no error - checked and plugin automatically downloaded from the server (v1.561). went to test to upload file from container - everything fine through selecting the file - when it should upload th…

trying to code a script to use FTPeek to connect to a standard FTP and upload a file. The script does not throw any errors abut the file is not present on the remote FTP. I tried using the FTPeek Sample client and when I connect (successfully) I get an error during the upload: java.awt.illegalComponentStateException: Native resources unavailable Any idea what this may be and on who's side it is coming from?

Hello! I have a new OSX Server and my server side script that uploads via FTPeek has stopped working. I have isolated the script step down to the actual ftpeek_upload function step.The script works when running from filemaker pro as it uses the get(documentspath) for a path. I seem to recall some type of OS tweaking that needs to be done to allow FTPeek to work but am now sure that is the issue.

I'm trying to find the best way to check if the FTPeek plugin (v1.6.1) is registered already, otherwise my script will register it. Looking at the demo file it checks for: Position( FTPeek_LicenseInfo; "*UNLICENSED*"; 1; 1 ) > 0 however this appears to not work as an unregistered plugin returns: 360Works FTPeek v1.61 Major Version: 1 Type: Demo version Registered To: null Expires on: May 9, 2012 12:59:35 PM I'm presuming I can simply check for "Registered To: null" unless there's other options I need to check for?

Starting yesterday, FTPeek Server Plugin was no longer able to be activated. The message I get from Filemaker is Plug-in failed to load: 360Works_FTPeek.fmx - We have been using FTPeek fine for months. No changes to the Filemaker Server have been made. However, JAVA was updated a few days ago on the machine. ]I have restarted the machine, reinstalled the latest JAVA (Update 31), reinstalled/upgraded to the newest FTPeek plugin, still with no luck.

Hi, I would like to use FTPeek to upload several files at a time to an FTP Server of a business partner. I can drag and drop the files to upload to the server using Filezillia with there settings including sftp-ssh file transfer protocol with no key, logon type normal, no port set, a host ip address, and a user name and password. Since I am collecting the files to upload to one using Filemaker I would prefer to program the upload using Filemaker. Can I use FTPeek_ConnectSFTP without a public key as they don't appear to require one since none is set in Filezillia and the business partner provided none. Thank you in advance Rich

I have a client which connects via FTPeek to a SFTP site, loops through the list of files and downloads all .csv files to the local machine. This has worked flawlessly for a year but the last couple of weeks I've had problems. I don't get any error messages but the downloaded files turns out all empty (0kb). The the setup for my local machine: Mac OS X 10.6.8 with loads of free space on the harddrive FileMaker Pro 11.0v4 FTPeek version 1.56 The only thing that has changed since the initial configuration is that I upgraded FMP to the latest version, but that was a couple of months a ago and as said the problems just started recently. Any tips or i…

I have been using FTPeek for awhile and have had no problems with it until now. I have to change the address that we send regular uploads to. I can get the PublicKey from this address, but when I try to connect I get an error. The first time I try to connect I will get this message: "The transport protocol is not connected". Then I will start getting this error: "The message store has reached EOF". I can connect using a standard FTP client on the same computer. Please help.

Unless I'm mistaken, you can't download an entire folder to a local location with just one function. Is this something you could add to save me the trouble of having FileMaker loop through all the files each time?

Hi, I'm trying to set up an automatic download to field and processing of an electronic ordering process. When I tested it on our own server with mock files and everything, it worked fine. However, when I connect to our clients FTP FTPeek returns an empty file list through FTPeek_GetFileList. I am in the right directory. I tried connecting with the sample client to verify the problem and the client also showed an empty directoy. I get no error from GetLastError. The folder is a virtual folder set up by the client to be seen through the FTP. FileZilla on the other hand sees the files as they are and I can download them as files. I don't want t…

Hi I am trying out FTPeek but have hit a problem. I can connect using FTPeek_ConnectFTP no problem. If I use FTPeek_ConnectSFTP though I hit an error. The Public Key for the server is stored in FM and I know this to be correct by using GetPublicKey and comparing it to the field contents. When I connect though, I get the error "Could not authenticate the SSH client: FAILED" I am using the following: IF FTPeek_ConnectSFTP ("servername:port" ; example::PublicKey ; "username" ; "password") = "ERROR" ...handle error ENDIF Thanks in anticipation OS: Win7 FM: 11 Advanced FTPeek: 1_561

Hi There, I am trying to automate a download of a text file that is sitting on an ftp site. The file has a file name which looks something like this "Filename_Date_Time_.csv" eg "Filename_20111107_155324_.csv" The problem is for ever new file there is a new time stamp and I am not able to automate the download as I never know the full name of my file. I have no problem scheduling the download from a file that I know the full name of. (the company I am doing the downloads from won't remove the time stamp from within the file name) What I am trying to do is download the file only knowing the files prefix. Is there a way I can download the file just kno…

Hi, I have a container field that I've pasted a FileMaker 11 chart into. I now want to upload that as a .jpg file to my web host using a few other fields as variables to name the file and point it to the proper directory. When I attempt to do this it uploads a file to the proper directory with the proper name but the file is 0 kb in size. What have I done wrong? I can export the field as a jpg using FileMaker's "Export Field Contents" step. Am I missing some sort of conversion step to actually convert it into a .jpg file? Thanks for any help you can provide. -Charlie Screen Shot attached...

I am trying to use the funtion FTPeek_UploadFileFromField. The contents I have in the field looks like this: AGCD Sale1|Mr bob brown|1254878956234| Sale2|Mrs Sarah Graham|23434543 2 Total When I use that function it wont upload the .txt file with the return keys that appear in the field, agcd should be on one line, sale1 is on another line and sale2 is on the third line. The result I receive is: AGCD Sale1|Mr bob brown|1254878956234| Sale2|Mrs Sarah Graham|23434543 Is there a way for me to export to .txt file and upload the contents of the field to a .txt file to look exactly like what it appears in the text field with all return keys?

Trying to download a file to local folder I get an error: javaLang InternalErri: couldn't create comonent peer. I get an empty file as result of the download. FMPA 11.0v3 running on Windows 2003 Server SP 2.

Is it possible to FTP files from a remote server to another remote server, or are you required to first download the files to local folder, then upload from this local directory?

I received the following error message when I try to upload from container. Does anyone know what it means: Here's the function I used in the script step: FTPeek_UploadFileFromContainer ( "/thumb.jpg"; Folder Metadata::Thumbnail Preview)

Do you have any example files of FTPeek working with SuperContainer? The FTPeek site states this. For example I'd like to drag some large files on to a SuperContainer web object. SuperContainer will automatically compress the files and store them. I then want FTPeek to FTP the zipped file to a predefined website. Can this all happen from just simply dragging the files onto the SC web object? thanks, andrew

Hi, we're using FTPPeek in a runtime (WIN and MAC). Users upload their media to our server. A lot of files are 50-100MB. For some clients everything works perfectly, for a lot of others it does not. Now I'm trying to improve the upload script to make thing work for everybody. So I have included a loop: if an upload fails, the script will try again up to three times, in case of an error I have also included a disconnect followed by a new connect. So far so good. Nevertheless I still receive upload errors, generated via FTPeek_LastError. After the upload directory was created and smaller files were uploaded successfully: first larger file: Read ti…

Hello 360works, I just purchased FTP Peek but I am not certain how I am supposed to register the FileMaker Server plug-in when running on just the server. I would like to use this plug-in with IWP. I already upgraded the license to 'Enterprise' and installed the plug-in into the WPC folder. Did I miss something? Do I have to run the Register Plug-In function on Start up? Thanks, Charlie
