    SFTP error FXP_OPENDIR when connecting

    SFTP error FXP_OPENDIR when connecting

    Q: Hey guys, we’re receiving this error with our SFTP connection to the MOVEIT Cloud.  Have you heard anything on this? Also, we did update to the latest version (v2025.6.8.0) to see if it works better.

      OpenDir(2797ms):

       SshVersion: SSH-2.0-MOVEit Transfer SFTP

        SftpVersion: 3

            sshReadMessage: Socket connection closed.

            Socket connection lost, channel closed.

          –readSftpPacket

          Failed to read expected SFTP packet.

          Failed to receive response to FXP_OPENDIR, disconnecting…

        –openDir

        Failed.

      –OpenDir

     

    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.

    How to use domain account authentication in our SFTP and FTP server

    How to use domain account authentication in our SFTP and FTP server

    In version v2025.6.8.0 we added the possibility to use domain users as authentication method.

    Select Server menu item > SFTP Server

    limagito file mover sftp server option

    There are a couple of ways to use this new ‘Domain User’ option. The examples below are related to SFTP but the same counts for FTP(S).

    1. First example:

    • Domain User is enabled
    • Username is set to “administrator”
    • Domain Name is set to “limagito”

    When a SFTP client connects to our SFTP server with the user “administrator” we will request the domain “limagito” to check if the provided password from the SFTP  client is correct.

    2. Second example:

    • Domain User is enabled
    • Username is set to “limagito\administrator”.
      • The Username is prefixed by the domain.
      • You need to use the sAMAccountName
    • Domain Name is left blanc

    When a SFTP client connects to our SFTP server with the user “limagito\administrator” we will request the domain “limagito” to check if the provided password from the SFTP  client is correct.

    3. Third example:

    • Domain User is enabled
    • Username is set to “localhost\administrator”.
      • The Username is prefixed by the domain.
      • You need to use the sAMAccountName
    • Domain Name is left blanc

    When a SFTP client connects to our SFTP server with the user “localhost\administrator” we will request the localhost user accounts to check if the provided password from the SFTP  client is correct.

    limagito file mover sftp server accounts setup

    In this version we also added a LDAP(S) client option. In the first two account examples we used the “limagito” domain. Our domain LDAPS server is listening on IP 192.168.2.202 – Port 636.

    • Check ‘Enable LDAP Client(s)’
    • Add the Client(s) you need
      • You can add multiple domains
    • For each domain you add, you need to add:
      • LDAP Host, our LDAP test server is using the IP 192.168.2.202
      • LDAP Port, our LDAP test server is listening on Port 636
      • LDAP Use TLS
        • When enabled TLS will be used to encrypt the LDAP packets

    If you need any help with this ‘domain account authentication’ option, please let us know.
