Unable to override server port number when using FTP_JAVA, SFTP_JAVA or AW_SFTP Jobs

Products

• CA Automic Applications Manager (AM)

Issue/Introduction

Error Message :
Error - unable to connect to remote host - '.com:'

When using the File Transfer jobs Applications Manager (AM) includes by default: FTP, FTP_JAVA and SFTP_JAVA, there is no option to change port numbers.  Instead the defaults are used as follows:

• FTP_JAVA - port 21
• SFTP_JAVA - port 22

AM's FTP, FTP_JAVA, and SFTP_JAVA Jobs are legacy jobs with limited functionality.  For the latest full featured FTP jobs, use the RA FTP Agent to execute FTP jobs.

Investigation

1. Update an SFTP server to require a port other than port 22 (i.e 22222).  
2. Create and run an SFTP_JAVA job in AM to connect to the updated server.
3. Job fails and errors similar to these are seen in the SFTP_JAVA job log.
