FTP broken in 7.3.11.4?

[Dorian (MJT support)]

Ever since I upgraded 7.3.0.8 to 7.3.11.4 my morning ftp web log download will not work. I installed 7308 on to an old computer and the ftp macro still works fine, so i know it's the new version and not my web server or connection.

Details as follows :

FTPGetFile>www.mysite.com,username,password,21,e:\my documents\logfiles\maillognewtype-%the_year%-%the_month%-%the_day%.rar,/home/sites/site1/web/tars/maillog.tar,I

Returns the error :

550 /home/sites/site1/web/tars/maillog.tar: No such file or directory

Manually FTPing in i can see the file, and download it, and in 7308 this macro downloads it just fine. it's just 7.3.11.4 that won't do it.

There have been no changes to the FTP commands between 7.3.08 and the latest version. The last time there were any changes to FTP was in the initial 7.3 release. So I think there must be something else going on here.

Do you have a firewall running? Have you stepped through the code - is the remote path in a variable which could be set wrongly? If you install the latest release on the other computer does the script still work? i.e. you have installed the old version on another computer and it works and come to the conclusion it must be the new version. But an equally valid conclusion could be that it is the computer. So now try the new version on the other computer too.

Thank you for the speedy reply. You are absolutely correct, the version number is mere coincidence. It stopped working the day I upgraded to the new version, so I made that assumption (once I'd tested the old version again).

I upgraded the other computer to the new version and it worked just fine.

It was, in fact, my firewall not liking the MS upgrade, as opposed to the upgrade itself. I rebooted without the firewall running and my FTP macro worked just fine in the new version of MS

Now to figure out why this firewall is misbehaving.....
