Hi Support,

I just upgraded to 9.2.5, and found a bug.

In the FTP task, you can setup a file filter for a File Listing.
I used the regular expression for this: ^(RD|I)_[\d_]+\.out$

When i test this in the task, I get a nice list of my required files. This is what I expect in the task output.

However, if I run the task, the output contains the FTP server header response and all the files. The name filter isn't working and the server header shouldn't be there.

[edit]
Before the list of ALL the files, I see this on top of it:
Server key received (RSA). Fingerprint is xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
SFTP authentication successful.
Command sent: RequestAbsolutePath /
Command sent: ListDirectory /
Response received: .


That is not a file listing..

Looks like the name filter isn't working. I filter also on date and that is fine.
[/edit]

Just want to point out that if you disable the FTP output logging, it is ok.
So we still have a bug here which isn't solved.

Hi Erik,

Can you show a screenshot of exactly how you set up that task? Are you able to reproduce it in SFTP or just FTP?

Here you see images from the log settings of the connection.

The location tab listing only *.OUT files.

The test of my file listing task.

The output when I run the task.

The output shows much more than the test which is wrong. The *.out filter isn't working and there is a header which doesn't belong to a file listing.
If you remove the two log checkboxes, the output looks like the test output and is fine.

After internal discussion with our developers, this is something that is a bit inconvenient / not quite possible to fix in this case. When an FTP file listing is being performed , full folder scan result is being sent from server. And this message (full list) is added to task output as an received message. Output filter is applied later.

Thanks a lot for the report though, we do appreciate it.
