Dear Sir - I have a file located on a Bloomberg Server that I'm having problems FTP'ing to our server. I've been successful in FTP'ing other files in my job......except this one file.

Specific Error Message = 351918.hpc.enc is not valid remote file. [pftp.C:1455]

Some of my FTP Settings are as follows: {final_delim=end, record_delim_string=\"\\r\\n\", delim=none, quote=none}

I've tried both Unix and Dos File type.. Binary and Ascii... but no luck. :(

Do any of the successful file names begin with a numeric character? My thinking is that your FTP tool does not like file names that begin with numeric characters. What actual FTP tool are you using? Have you tried with a different FTP tool?

I'm using Datastage 8.0 FTP Enterprise as the FTP tool. I am able to manually FTP file through a FTP Session. I have tried renaming the file to a character file and still doesn't work.
