FTP 999 Operation Aborted
Question:
I've got a script which FTP text file from windows to Unix, at one location is failling with "999 Operation aborted",
but at other locations in the same network and other networks is not. What's wrong and how can I fix it?
hSession = ftpOpen(share_target, name_target, pw_target, "", 1)
(5391) VALUE=> "999 Operation aborted"
Answer:
Are you able to manually connect to that FTP server using any other FTP applications?
User Reply:
Yes I can manually connect. I can also get three WinBatch FTP scripts to start, but after that it fails. We sometimes need to transfer
multiple items in a day. System reboot everyday still has no effect on the 999 errors.
Answer:
Is your script explicitly closing the FTP session? Are you closing the session if the script errors? If not you might need to
add ftpClose in a few places.

Windows Firewall had been turn on and this caused the "999 Operation aborted"
