Problem downloading files from GXS ecXpress FTP server
This article applies to Robo-FTP 3.7.x and later. GXS offers multiple B2B services with very specific requirements. Robo-FTP instructions for GXS Trading Grid will not work for GXS ecXpress. Please contact Robo-FTP technical support for assistance communicating with GXS servers.
GXS ecXpress and ACTIVE FTP
The GXS ecXpress FTP servers use Active Mode to transfer files and directory listings. Passive Mode is the default transfer mode for Robo-FTP.
Use /pasv=false to force Active Mode transfers as follows:
FTPLOGON "ftp.ecxpress.com.au" /user="UserName" /pw="Password" /ibm /pasv=false
Note: A successful connection may require a different server address (ex: ftp3.ecxpress.com.au) or non-standard port (ex: /port=15555)
