corecmd.exe not using correct port

PaulLavallee · Post by **PaulLavallee** » Wed Oct 05, 2011 5:02 pm

I set up a SSH/SFTP site through the GUI using port 22 and I am able to connect and download files.

When I execute corecmd using the site I created, it tries to connect using port 21 (if I do not specify the -s option) or port 0 (if I do specify the -s option). I know this from the log file.

Does anyone know why corecmd is not using the port I specified in the Site Manager? Is there any way to fix this problem? This site can only be reached through port 22. Below is my exact command:

corecmd.exe -site LOCKBOX -d /home/lockboxPRJ/Subscriber20110913.txt -p d:\sysadmin\ -log d:\sysadmin\FTP.log

I am a registered user, but the support@coreftp.com mailbox is full

Are you using the latest build? There was a registry issue that would show up in builds before 1693 causing the wrong port. The latest build should fix it.

Also consider using -s at the beginning of the command line (silent mode)

I am using build 1695. When I add -s to the command line, it tries to connect using port 0:

corecmd.exe -s -site LOCKBOX -d /home/lockboxPRJ/Subscriber20110913.txt -p d:\sysadmin\ -log d:\sysadmin\FTP.log

Are you running this from the command line with the same account?

Just wondering if the IP address matches, and if this is pointing to the correct site profile. If you are running it in a script and it is using the system account, it would not be able to see your site profile by default.

Good catch! The IP address is not correct. Although I am running this command line with the same account as I set up the site profile, corecmd is not picking up the correct IP address from the site profile. I do know that corecmd is seeing my site profiles because if I change the corecmd to use the site name "foobar", I get a "Can't find site profile!" message in the log.

Is there some setting that I am missing that would cause this behavior? I have two other corecmd scripts that are working fine, which is why this is so baffling to me.

Try renaming the site to something different. There might be a site name matching problem.
