Hi,

When using NT Scheduler to run a WS_FTP script the site profile can't be found and therefore the connection fails.  Does anyone know where to define the location of the site profile so that the script run by NT Scheduler can find it?  The user name with permission to run the NT Scheduler has the WS_FTP site profile located in the documents and settings/user/ipswitch etc. folder.

thanks,

Wes

I would like to echo the question posed.  For automation, it would be useful to have the ability to define a "homedir" on the commandline to manage Windows profile dependencies...  I've searched through the docs but haven't found an answer.

Wes, let me know if you've had any success...

Thanks, -John

You will have to run the scheduled job as the user that created the Site. We are looking for a site profile under a user that does not seem to have the correct information under their Windows Profile.

Or you can just copy over the Sites folder for the user that set up the Profiles:

C:\Documents and Settings\User who set up Profiles\Application Data\Ipswitch\WS_FTP\Sites

to the Sites folder for the user that is running the Task:

C:\Documents and Settings\User running the Task\Application Data\Ipswitch\WS_FTP\Sites

Hi all,  thanks for the great forum - good source of info.

I too have experienced this problem while trying to run ftpscrpt via our distributed scheduler (IBM Maestro).  I do all of the site admin work under my account and the scheduled jobs run under the maestro account.

Reading your post here, I copied the ..\site folder to the maestro home dir (in documents and settings) and I was still experiencing the 'cant find site' issue.

I tried copying the ..\site folder to Default User (in documents and settings) and voila it worked. 

I just wanted to share this info w/ you all... but I do have one question:

Is there any 'danger or downside' to enabling ws-ftp usage by way of Default User?

Thanks again.  Jim

If you're trying to automate this, try changing the service to run as local administrator. This worked for me. Otherwise using "siteid" will not work.
