I'm using eft to transfer a pretty large zip file and it is getting disconnected.
zip file is about 3GB.
Is there a way to set no timeout
filename eft sftp "/Standing Order/Dropoff/&job..zip" host='xx@xxxx' DEBUG;
data _null_;
infile "/sasdata/Production/enterprise/data/data_dump/monthly/&job..zip" recfm=n;
input x $char1. @@;
file eft recfm=s;
put x $char1. @@;
run;
This gateway for AUTHORISED
use only!
Connected .
NOTE: sftp> cd "/Standing Order/Dropoff"
NOTE: The file EFTSAS is:
Filename=/Standing Order/Dropoff/datadump.zip
NOTE: Received disconnect from 10.101.1.21 port 22:11: Manually close SSH session.
Disconnected from 10.101.1.21 port 22
sftp>
Port timeouts are often set by server firewall rules. Check with your IT network folks to see if there are rules for port 22.
Also try the WAIT_MILLISECONDS option in case the timeout is performance-related.
For commercial managed file transfer applications like eft, the best apporach would be to approach the vendor for assistance.
