I have a client with a FileMaker 11 runtime on Windows, where one specific user/computer is constantly getting an error on a file download inside a scripted routine.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

INFO: Creating shared PluginBridge instance / plugin bridge version 1.64

bundlePath: C:\Ecatalogues\eCatalogue Winter 13 - info\files\Extensions\360Works_FTPeek.fmx

jvm version: 23.1-b03 from C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7 - JAVA_JVM_VERSION is null

Operating system info: Windows 7 6.1 running on x86 architecture

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The connection to the FTP server is established without problems, but then there is an error as soon as the file is to be downloaded:

It's a quite small file that's being downloaded (22kB) so I would be surprised if it was just a normal time-out. Could anti-virus/firewalls or something similar explain this?

It is possible. Have the user try to telnet to the FTP server (IP and port) to make sure a connection can be established.

The problem isn't establishing the connection - that works fine:

-----------------------------

CONFIG: === Executing plugin function FTPeek_ConnectFTP on thread main ===

Aug 23, 2012 1:28:03 PM com.prosc.ftpeek.GenericFTPModel connect

INFO: Connected to server ftp.[xxxxx].[xxx]

Aug 23, 2012 1:28:03 PM com.prosc.fmkit.PluginBridge initAwt

INFO: Initialized AWT successfully from Thread[main,5,main]

Aug 23, 2012 1:28:03 PM com.prosc.fmkit.PluginBridge$3 run

-----------------------------

The error occurs only when the FTPeek_DownloadFileToField is sent.

So I'm not sure if testing the connection by other means makes sense?

David - not sure if this is helpful...but in your post I noticed two things (1) a connection reset issue similar to the one I had been having, and (2) based on the info file the user appears to be running Java 7. Check out my "Connection Reset" post a few down the list - bottom line is that Java 7 might be the culprit - go back to Java 6 Update 33 (the last one for 6) and it might work fine.

Chris

There were some known issues with Java 7 and our FTPeek plugin. A newer version of the plugin has been released (FTPeek 1.63) addresses these and should now work with Java 7.
