FTP Client Adapter fails to login when no password is required

Troubleshooting


Problem

FTP Client Adapter fails to login when no password is required

Symptom

When using the FTP Client Adapter with an FTP server that only requires a username, GIS throws an unsuccessful state transition error after the USER command. Authentication is being handled through SSL, so no password will be issued.

GIS appears to be expecting a 331: Username okay, password required, but receives a 230: User logged in.

According to the FTP RFC, 230 is a valid state transition from the USER command.

Error Message

Error in Advanced Status:

Executing handleREPLY_230Command(IS,b,O) after unsuccessful transition from state [USER].

Error in FTP Client Log (debug mode):
