MQFTE Protocal bridge agent(PBA) is not delivery files to restricted access sFTP clients(only allowed to write files)

MFT Protocol Bridge Agent is designed to work with file based systems.
Customer has mentioned that they are using a SFTP server which is not file based and
using OnGetAttributes() to get file system information would fail.

To support such SFTP servers, Product has to be redesigned. Hence, the best way forward is to submit an RFE (Request for Enhancement).


As we highlighted below , we are able to deliver file manually with sftp session( login , cd to absolute path, then ‘put' )
But when we try it with PBA agent , error recorded is ECUSTOMS:/GB_EXP/flatfile.cusdec/9GB232128892000-1-037259F01.DAT" is not a normal file (it might be a directory).

Target sFTP client team response is below and highlighted that new process(PBA) is trying to showattr:OnGetAttributes which will not work

Success
However to me it appears to be an issue in your new processes not our sFTP which as shown is working in manual test session,

Failure
But in the test system with your new processes you are generating the following at what would have been the same stage and at the end the SSH channel is closed
