Is 599xp the host name of 10.0.7.235 or 10.0.7.161 ?

On machine 10.0.7.235, can it do a STAF ping of machine ssl://599xp@6550? 
e.g.  STAF ssl://599xp@6550 PING PING
On machine 10.0.7.161, can it do a STAF ping of machine ssl://599xp@6550? 
e.g.  STAF ssl://599xp@6550 PING PING

If you can't, then you don't have your TCP/IP / DNS settings set up 
corrrectly.  Note that STAF uses host names to communicate between 
machines (instead of IP addresses if host names are configured).  See 
section "3.1.4 Why can't my STAF machines communicate" in the STAF FAQ at 
http://staf.sourceforge.net/current/STAFFAQ.htm#STAF%20machines%20can%27t%20communicate%20due%20to%20DNS%20issues
 
for more information on getting machines to communicate via STAF.

Note that the TOMACHINE in a FS COPY request defaults to the machine that 
is submitting the FS COPY request.  So, you could try removing the "TO 
MACHINE 10.0.7.161" option on the FS COPY request to see if that helps 
(but it may not).

For information on whether a FS COPY FILE request can copy a file to an 
existing folder or to a non-existing folder. please read section "8.4.2 
COPY FILE" in the STAF User's Guide at 
http://staf.sourceforge.net/current/STAFUG.htm#HDRFSSRV.  It describes the 
TOFILE option for the COPY FILE request as follows:

TOFILE specifies the name of the file to create. The directory path 
specified must already exist on the machine where the file is being copied 
to, or else the copy request will fail with RC 17 (File open error). If 
neither TOFILE nor TODIRECTORY is specified, this defaults to the same, 
unresolved, name as specified in FILE. This option will resolve variables. 
These variables will be resolved on the target machine. 

So, it says that the directory path for the TOFILE must already exist. 
Also, note that the FS COPY request supports the following options:

FAILIFEXISTS specifies that the copy should fail if TOFILE already exists. 
The default is to replace the file if it exists. 
FAILIFNEW specifies that the copy should fail if TOFILE does not already 
exist. The default is to create the file if it does not exist.

Subject:        [staf-users] Copy file to an existing folder



Hi,
 
I am try to copy a file from remote machine(10.0.7.235) to my 
local(10.0.7.161). Here is the STAF command I used:
 
STAF "10.0.7.235" FS COPY FILE 
"D:/Silk/Apps/Harmony/TestResults/Harmony.txt" TOFILE 
"D:/SilkTemp/Harmony.txt" ONMACHINE "10.0.7.161"
 
I got this error message:
STAFConnectionProviderConnect: Timed out conneting to endpoint: select() 
timeout: 22, Endpoint: ssl://599xp@6550.
 
But when I ping this remote machine, everything is fine. I have no idea 
why my file copy failed?
 
One more silly question,  "FS COPY FILE" should be able to copy a file to 
an existing folder or non-existing folder, right?
 
Thanks,
 
CIndy
