Issue/Introduction

There is a problem with script function PREP_PROCESS_FILE when using the following different settings on UC_HOSTCHAR_* or Agent ini file:

1. You should Have the following values in:

UC_HOSTCHAR_DEFAULT => ANONYMOUS_FT => Y
ini-file WIN agent: LOGON=1
UNIX agent: login_Check=yes
User privilege is set
FileTransfer: Start without Login object specified - ticked

2. Use Agent Windows / Unix 12.3.0 and 12.3.3 or superior and compare the results of executing a script like this:

:SET &HND#=PREP_PROCESS_FILENAME("[email protected]","c:\temp*",,,,,)
:PROCESS &HND#
:SET &LINE#=GET_PROCESS_LINE(&HND#)
:PRINT &LINE#
:ENDPROCESS
:CLOSE_PROCESS &HND#

3. If logon=1 – the script ends ok, but with the error in the activation in the more recent agent (12.3.3+), but works ok on Agent 12.3.0.

This is the error:

U02002058 File transfers without login information are not permitted.
