CFFTP error with Proxy

[peterdoyle]

Hi,

I am trying to use cfftp to send csv files to our web host. To access the site I need to use a proxy and this seems to stop this from working.

The error that is thrown is

Error: No route to host: connect.

I have tried the same connection through ftp software on the same machine and the connection works through the proxy.

Any ideas why this would happen just through the cfftp?

I notice that the proxyserver setting in the tag doesn't indicate whether to specify a port as well but I have tried with and without in the string and still get the same errors.

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Look like a networking issue. Try using IP addresses instead of hostnames. If that doesn't work:

1. Can you show us the code?

2. What is the IP address of the proxy server?

3. Can you show the route map of the ColdFusion server? On Windows that is "route print" and on Linux that is "netstat -r" (both from the cmmand line).

Hi Jochem,

Thanks for the response. To cover each of your questions in turn:

1. I have tried both IP and address but with no success. I have also tried both through CoreFTP with no issues.

2. The proxy server is within our parent companies WAN. I have tried with port 1080 within the string and without.

3. What would you like to know regarding the Route Print - don't really want to print my ip's if possible.

The codes I am using is as follows:

<cfftp connection = "myConnection1"

               username = "username"

               password = "password"

               server = "ip"

               action = "open"

               stopOnError = "Yes" passive="true"

               proxyserver="proxy:1080" timeout="300">

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Did you run CoreFTP from your local computer or from the CF server? Have you restarted CF recently (to flush the DNS cache)?

2. The proxy server is within our parent companies WAN. I have tried with port 1080 within the string and without.

Can you see where it tries to connect if you run a packetsniffer (such as Wireshark) on your CF server?

3. What would you like to know regarding the Route Print - don't really want to print my ip's if possible.

The whole route table and the IP addresses of the proxy server and the destination server.

Is there any message in the log of the proxy erver?
