Post OPEN FTP sessions after job exits. Reply with quote

Hope this one is easy.

We are connecting to a SFTP device to transferring files. Between the host and the remote we are processing 10 different FTP commands for each job.

On the 24x7 Windows clients anf the Unix administrator has confirmed, 24x7 appears to be leaving the SFTP ports open; one for each FTP command executed by 24x7.

I have to close these ports. It is a resource hog on the UNIX host, and a potential security hole on the Windows clients. I have looked through the 24x7 documentation on remote FTP commands. I noticed the quit command, this command however, quits the active FTP session. How do I close the other FTP ports that are left open? Is there a way to next the Ftpcomamnds like concatex? Maybe do a put then a quit?

Thank you

~Joe

Every FTP and SFTP command opens and closes a separate port. After command completions ports must be automatically closed. If they remain open I would suggest that this is a bug and it should be fixed. Please report a test case to support@softtreetech.com.

As a workaround, try running the job detached. When the job completes and the process terminates it should automatically close all previously opened resources.

The job is already set to run detached.

Thank you
