If PUT_ATT FT_DST_LOGIN is commented and no values are passed while execution of file transfer object, the windows agent crashes with following message
20240409/083256.354 - U02000096 File transfers without login information are not permitted. 20240409/083256.354 - Unexpected error while Agent processing, agent aborting. 20240409/083256.354 - 20240409/083256.354 - U02000302 Agent shutdown has been initiated with return code '6'.
The status of the JOBF goes into "Waiting for host" and the Windows agent crashes - Upon restarting the agent - the JOBF resumes and the agent crashes again. Only if the problematic JOBF is cancelled, the agent is able to start and run.
