Servicemix-FTP and IIS FTP Server

[tacrow]

We have a Microsoft IIS server that requires that the login ID be in e-mail format. For example:

[e-mail]

If I try to use this URI in a Servicemix-FTP poller:

ftp://myid@mydomain:[e-mail]/[e-mail]/mydirectory

FUSE ESB 3.4.0.3 under Linux gives me this error:

javax.jbi.JBIException: You must configure the address or host property

I can past that URI into a browser, and it works fine.

I'm guessing the problem's that the URI has two @ symbols.

I've Googled and searched this site, but I can't find an alternative.

Might anyone have an idea of how to approach this?

Thank you!

I'm trying to find a workaround for this issue. I remembered that IIS supports another URI format:

ftp://mydomain\myid:[e-mail]/[e-mail]/mydirectory

This also works if I paste it into the browser's address bar.

I didn't think that would work in ServiceMix, given that the backslash is the escape character in Java. So, I tried this:

ftp://mydomain
myid:[e-mail]/mydirectory

This fails with an org.springframework.beans.TypeMismatchException saying "Invalid URI syntax."

So, I tried to use the HTML substitute:

ftp://mydomain\myid:[e-mail]/[e-mail]/mydirectory

It fails with the same error.

So far, ServiceMix is fighting hard not to let me log into IIS FTP!

I have to believe I'm missing something obvious.

I appreciate any thoughts anyone would like to share!

Thanks.

I found a way to tell Microsoft IIS FTP to assume the login domain for the IP address. This page describes the issue:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/310723

After adjusting IIS to accept just the ID, Servicemix-FTP seems to work fine.

Hope this is helpful!

HTML escape codes won't work on URLs, only in HTTP.

However, there are such things as URL escape codes

ftp://mydomain%40myid:[e-mail]/mydirectory
