Limagito: We don’t have any other open tickets regarding this issue so it is a bit strange. What we did in the meantime: we added an extra (third) SFTP code Vendor – SC. We are still doing tests but it is already available in our latest v2025 version.
Reply: I found the root cause of the error. MoveIT only allows a login to have one session open at a time. We were trying to run the jobs concurrently and that what was causing the issue. Once I made them run sequentially, the issue stopped.
If you need any help with this ‘SFTP error FXP_OPENDIR’ error, please let us know.
