fetch FTP - empty file uploaded

Tue Jan 03, 2012 10:47 am

I've made a script which is saving data amounts of each user to logfile at midnight and then uploading the logfile to my web server using /tool fetch and FTP. (web server is generating tables, see attachment) The problem is that sometimes the logfile is transferred well and sometimes not - the transferred logfile is empty (zero length).

I've also tried simple command in terminal:
/tool fetch upload=yes mode=ftp address=SERVER user=USER password=PASS src-path=test.txt dst-path=test.txt
And it is as I said: sometimes working, sometimes not. There is no error message on terminal, everything seems to be ok (status: finished), but the file on FTP is empty. How may I fix it?

Hi zervan,

I have noticed the exact same problems with my script sometimes it uploads the whole file and other times its a zero sized file.

I have now done this:
/tool fetch mode=ftp address=($ftpserver) user=rbcp password=rbcp src-path=($rscFileName) dst-path=($rscFileName) upload=yes;
:delay delay-time=3s;

I've added a slight delay of 3 seconds to see if this helps somehow.

I'll let the system run for the next 24 hours and see it goes.

Regards,
/Neji

I changed the FTP service from Windows to Ubuntu and so far its working.

No more zero sized files and the right sized file does get FTP'd to the server.

My problem was that I was using a Windows FTP server and some how the anti virus was messing things up. But when I moved to a Ubuntu server then it worked just right
