    i have configured optigold to generate a radius file to my specs and then ftp the file to a server, but the file never gets uploaded to the server.
    any ideas?

    look under general preferences and then automated tasks there is an entry there for how often it generates the radius file and that should control how often it gets ftped, i think

    Turn on the debugger (under My Stuff -> System Info), then try it and see if the "Java Companion Log" file (within FileMaker Java Extensions) says anything useful.

    try to remove the ftp settings and just generate the file locally.. if that works then try to ftp the file by command line manually to your server that should really narrow down where your problem lies.

    if you get errors generating it locally i would very closely look at your file configuration paramaters for misspellings or incorrect syntax

    Do you have a name for your file in the FTP setup? It does not seem to have a name from that log.

    It still doesn't seem like you have everything filled out for the FTP. Do you have the full paths and filenames within both source and destination paths?

    the file path on radius is /etc/raddb/users

    Sorry for the dumb question, but how do you configure Optigold to generate a radius file automatically? (That's effectively an export of all current users and a specification or two right? Or do you mean that one is generated with every account "create hold restore cancel".

    Just curious.

    Thanks.

    I get basically the same result. It seems to have run and done good things from the logs (I think) but the file never materializes on the server. I have tried two different ftp servers (different software on each) and have done obvious things like trying it without the /etc/ and logging in with an ftp client and making sure I can upload. The server's logs only seem to indicate that the user logged in and quit in the same second, there is no obvious upload or rejection of upload.

    You would need to use the full path to the local file (including drive letter).

    See what I mean about missing the obvious?
    Okay so next one, no matter what I put in "RADIUS File Config" the file that is generated always looks the same (lots of columns I did not ask for)...what's that?
