We have a SFTP set up and we are on version 9.8.0 - previous 9.4.5 I think. When the job runs it logs into the SFTP server, and then we ask it to download the files. It takes a while to download the files and it does not error. When we check the files it either shows half the csv file or 0kb. No error is determined by Visual cron and it moves on to the next task.

I found this error in the log files

I found https://www.visualcron.c....aspx?g=posts&t=5038  on the forum but there is no resolution.

Could some one advise how to fix this?

The other thing is I have 2 other jobs that touch the same SFTP server and download different CSV files but do not have the issue for 1 of them. The other one is showing this issue as well where the file is cut in half or a small portion downloads or a 0kb file.

Please advise

Thanks

There was a previous issue, I believe now resolved, in VC where VC would 'create' a file if it did not exist at the source

For example:

Task #1. Copy File A from Source X to Destination Y
If file A did not exist at the source, VC would act like it did and destination Y would receive a 'file" that was named correctly and was zero KB. Essentially VC was creating ghost files IF the source file did not exist.

v9.6.5 does not do this, I just tested it. But sometimes, even if you have the newest version, old tasks/jobs act the way the old version did when the job was created.

If this is your issue I think you have to remake the whole job or simply make a new job with one task and test it out. Run the new job first then run the old job and see what happens

If that does not solve it, I would clone the "good" job that does not exhibit this issue and replace the jobs not working.

Thanks, Recreating it from scratch has worked.
