Status: Disconnected Error when doing test connection

sanderson62 · 17:47 - 9 days ago#12023-09-13T17:47

My linux signon has a menu system that pops up to get me signed on into the correct region. UltraEdit Open from FTP/Save to FTP options of FTP and the Test Connection button in FTP Account Manager all fail with Status: Disconnected Error: : Component was busy while disconnected by the server. Interesting thing is, if I comment out the load of the menu, and any Linux Echo command I have in my .profile, the Save to FTP/Open from FTP work just fine. Unfortunately I need that menu system for the linux work I do. Commenting/uncommenting is a stop gap, but not feasible in the long term. Guidance??
thanks

The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) has by definition in the appropriate RFCs no interactive mode with a user interface. I don't understand how an FTP/FTPS server should send data of a text or graphical menu to an FTP client which presents that menu the user for selecting something. I am not aware of an FTP command which would make that possible at all. Are you sure that you are not using SSH (and SFTP) or Telnet?

I am using SFTP. The Open from FTP / Save to FTP are in the pop-up menu on ribbon tab Home of command FTP in group Extras.

It looks like you establish in other programs an SSH connection, get returned from the secure shell on the server a text menu displayed by the used terminal program in a text window, press one or more keys send by the terminal window to the secure shell on the server to make a choice for the correct region and then use the secure shell command scp (secure shell copy) to upload files to the server. You can do the same by configuring an SSH account and use it with the integrated SSH/telnet console window of UltraEdit.

The SFTP feature is like the FTP/FTPS feature for pure file transfers between a server and the client embedded in UltraEdit. There is for an SFTP account only one possibility for an interactive login since UltraEdit for Windows v2022.1. After selecting Protocol SFTP on tab General and enter the other data on this tab for establishing a secure connection to the server, select the tab Advanced and check the option Interactive login (2FA). That option is actually for two- or multi-factor authentication. I have no experience with that as I don't have any server accessed with SFTP which requires a two-factor authentication. But perhaps the usage of this option makes it possible for you connecting to the server, choosing the region and then use the FTP/FTPS/SFTP commands of UltraEdit.
