I'm running 5.2.7 and am trying to set up a simple report/RC job that will burst HTML files out to an internal FTP site.

The report runs (I can see the HTML files generated in ibi\ReportCaster52\temp), but the files are not sent to the FTP site correctly.

A 0 KB file is created on the FTP site, but nothing more.

The RC job never finishes. I have to restart the RC service to clear it out.

The same behavior is exhibited when I take off the burst option.

I've accessed the destination FTP Site from the box that has RC, and been able to manually copy files via FTP.

1. Any idea how to get this to work?
2. As a band-aid, is there any way to directly access the bursted files? The files in the temp directory don't have the correct filenames that are needed.

Thanks.

Chris

i write my own ftp script and caster just executes it, as any other job. i don't specify the output to be ftp. works great for me.
here's a sample of the code is use for a GET operation; you could change it to PUT; and note that the command lcd is localchange directory, for mmoving around on my server box; command cd moves around on the ftp site.
i write a little text file with the ftp commands in it and then execute it. If you're bursting, you'll have to do some looping.
the userid and password willhave to be your own
as will the 'myftpsite' name. duh.
