• Closed as program error.

Error description

• ZD&T 13.3.1
  .
  When deploying ADCD RSU 2112 to a Linux target with no FTP
  client installed, but configured as "ZD&T managed", the FTP
  client is not installed and the deployment fails at the
  stage "Retrieving ADCD configuration script" with the following
  error:
    get "zdt_config_adcd_ipl.sh" "/tmp/zdt/zdtInstall"
    quit' | ftp -n -p
    With return code 127 and error message:
    stdout: <empty>, stderr: bash: line 5: ftp: command not found
  

Local fix

• Option 1: Change the storage server from FTP to SFTP.
  Option 2: Manually install FTP client on Linux target. Resume
  deployment, if failed prior to FTP client install
