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.

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
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”
You need to use the sAMAccountName
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.
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.
Best Regards,
