Exception while connecting to SFTP Server

Question

Hi all,

Currently, we have the issue that, from time to time, while connecting to an SFTP server, we receive the error

Message: Exception occured while sending file 'ABC' to server 'XYZ'.
Exception: NotSSHServer

Details: EnterpriseDT.Net.Ftp.Ssh.SFTPException: NotSSHServer
at EnterpriseDT.Net.Ftp.Ssh.SSHFTPClient.Connect()
at EnterpriseDT.Net.Ftp.SecureFTPConnection.Connect()
at <Custom Code>

An eror on the server side is unlikely.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks, regards

Joerg Fischer

Answer 1

That normally happens when you accidentally connect to a port where an FTP server is listening rather than an SFTP server.
