What is it?​

Reference for STDOUT messages output by the Unix Agent FTAgent component during file transfer operations, including backup, transfer result, and completion messages.

  • You need to confirm whether a destination file was backed up, overwritten, appended to, or created during a transfer.
  • A transfer reports "File transfer did not complete!" and you need to check the STDERR output for additional detail.

Original destination file [dest] backed-up to [backup]​

Origination: FTAgent

Per the job's "Overwrite" option, the FTAgent backed up the Destination File prior to starting the file transfer.

Original destination file [file] did not exist to back-up​

Origination: FTAgent

At the job's startup, no Destination File existed to backup.

Could not change default access permissions for destination file [dest]​

Origination: FTAgent

Following the transfer of a new Destination file, the new file's access privileges could not be changed from the system-dependent default to:

  • Full access by owner
  • Read access by group
  • No access by others

:::info Note

If the Destination File existed before the file transfer, the file transfer does not modify its access permissions.

:::

[src_machine]src_file --> [dest_mach]dest_file​

Origination: FTAgent

  • Displays the results of the file transfer.
  • The Destination File was created or overwritten.
  • Shown if the job's "Overwrite" option specified appending, but the Destination File did not exist prior to the file transfer.

[src_machine]src_file appended --> [dest_mach]dest_file​

Origination: FTAgent

  • Displays the results of the file transfer.
  • The Source File was appended to the Destination File.

File transfer successfully completed​

Origination: FTAgent

The job ran to completion.

File transfer did not complete!​

Origination: FTAgent

  • The job did not run to completion. The file may or may not have been transferred.
  • Refer to the job's STDERR output for details of what went wrong.
