CFFTP with proxy

[Jack987]

Hi !

I wanna make an ftp connection passing by a proxy but I don't manage to with cfftp tag. This my code :

<cfftp action="open" username="*****" password="*****" server="*****.com" proxyserver="proxerserverIP" passive="yes" port="8080">

And this the error I get in return :

An exception occurred when establishing a FTP connection.
The cause of this exception was that: java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: connect.

Can somebody help me please ?

Thanks

Hi,

The default timeout is 30 seconds, but you can override this using the timeout attribute of the <cfftp> tag.. Try specifying some more value as timeout.. That may perhaps work...

Thanks for your answer Daverms.

I tryed with timeout=1000000 but the same error is returned. Moreover proxyserver seems not to be used because a request is sent directly to the ftp server and not to the proxy. Any other idea ?

Hi Jack,

This error mainly occurs due to the uploads that takes more that 30 seconds.

Try like this by putting the following statement

<cfsetting requestTimeOut = "120">

I believe this will probably work...

The same error again :'(

Have you ever used cfftp with a proxy ?

Seems strange 😞 ....

Well.. If you can get through in your Command Prompt the following...

ftp> open server_ip

then:

user > username@hostname proxyusername
password > pass
proxypassword > proxypass

Then... You can also passthrough the authentication via CFFTP too...

It doesn't work either... I will contact the administrator something may be badly configured.

Thanks for your help 😉
