Requested action not taken. Concatenated Get in Deflated mod (wodFtpDLX / wodFtpDLX.NET)

by Steve Haney, Wednesday, May 23, 2018, 22:31 (2155 days ago)

For a specific FTP server that we download files from we started to get an error a few days ago:

Requested action not taken. Concatenated Get in Deflated mode is not supported.

The full stack is:

An exception occurred while trying to download files from: /outgoing
Message: Requested action not taken. Concatenated Get in Deflated mode is not supported
Source: WeOnlyDo.Client.FTP
at WeOnlyDo.Protocols.FTP._GetFile()
at WeOnlyDo.Client.FtpDLX.GetFile(String LocalPath, String RemotePath)

The Ftp server is using FTP protocol on port 21. The code calling GetFile is pretty simple. This has worked for over a year without issues and I'm trying to determine if its the host FTP server that might've changed something. I don't even see where deflated mode is an option.

Code calling GetFile...


log.DebugFormat("Downloading remote file: {0}, Modification Date: {1} {2} UTC, Size: {3} bytes", fullPath, item.ModificationTime.ToUniversalTime().ToShortDateString(), item.ModificationTime.ToUniversalTime().ToShortTimeString(), item.Size);
 ftp.GetFile(downloadDirectory, fullPath);

Log shows the full path looks to be valid...
Downloading remote file: /outgoing/ARPP.BACLR.CA.CATHAIMS.A00.180522051300.asc, Modification Date: 5/22/18 10:13 AM UTC, Size: 881 bytes

We're using blocking mode but other than that there aren't any unique properties.

Hi Steve.

If you set Compression to 0, does it work?

No that didn't seem to make a difference. Is there a way to get a verbose log to file using FtpDlx.net?

I used WinScp client and that connects fine. Here are the logs from that tool.

Initial Connection. MODE Z is mentioned which I thought means the server supports the Deflate mode, but maybe I'm reading that wrong.

Requested action not taken. Concatenated Get in Deflated mod

by wodSupport, Wednesday, May 23, 2018, 22:51 (2155 days ago) @ Steve Haney

Hi Steve,

yes, I think MODE Z is the problem here. You can use FTPReply event to get full log of what's sent/received to the server

/FtpDLX.NET/Help/wodFtpDLX.NET-WeOnlyDo.Client.FtpDLX-FtpReplyEvent-event.html

Error you're getting could be related to using Resume property set to True, and Compression set to non-zero. Otherwise I'm not sure why it would be returned.

Jasmine.

I'll hook up that event and include that in the the thread. Other than setting Blocking = true, I wasn't setting any other properties.

I am trying Compression = 0, but should I also change the Resume property based on your mention?

Hi Steve,

Blocking should make no difference (it makes difference how your local side works, not the server interaction).

Resume should be False. Compression should be 0, make sure it's set like that before calling the Connect method.

I tried adding the Event Delegator but it doesn't seem to be logging. Regardless it does seem that the combination of Compression = 0 and Resume = False worked.

For this to break out of the blue do you think the Server host had to change some configuration on their end? I'm also assuming that I probably don't want to use Compression 0, Resume False for every single other FTP connection with other clients. Do you recommend these only get set to 0/false in cases where this error is encountered?

Thanks

Hi Steve,

why not? Use Compression = 0, since you can live just nice with no compression on today's speeds. As for Resume = false - you will always download full files. When dealing with important files, it could be safer way to go.
