Error (0) opening file: sftpagent.conf

[RahulChauhan]

I'm using file collection method to integrate DHCP server in test environment (on Windows server 2012), and getting below output, while caching the keys:

Configuration for sftpagent.conf:

dir0=C:\WINDOWS\System32\dhcp
dir0.filespec=DhcpSrvLog*.log
dir0.interval=60
dir0.compression=true
dir0.enabled=true
dir0.ftp=192.168.0.64,nic_sshd,publickey,//upload/microsoft_dhcp_2012/dhcp

sftp user is created on event source. Also at VLC level, owner and group changed to sftp and 775 permission also given.

Are you sure the file is ending .conf?  It should be called 'sftpagent.conf'

The error looks like it can't find the file.

Also

You config line is not right.  It should be:

dir0.ftp=192.168.0.64,sftp,sftp,publickey,//upload/microsoft_dhcp_2012/dhcp

The nic_sshd use account was replaced with sftp

To add to Dave's comment, you may end up changing this:

dir0=C:\WINDOWS\System32\dhcp

to something like this:

dir0=C:\Windows\sysnative\dhcp

This has to do with it being a 32-bit windows application; otherwise, it may not find your DHCP log files.

[RahulChauhan]

Yes, it's ending with .conf

And for point 2:  I forgot to mention, but I tried using sftp in place of nic_sshd

[DaveGlover]

Are extensions hidden?  For some reason the agent is not seeing the conf file.  I am sure it is something very simple

Can I see a picture of the directory listing?  Either in command line or file explorer.

Just to make sure the .conf file is in the sasftpagent directory correct?

[RahulChauhan]

It worked Dave. You were right. The extension was not proper, I created a new .conf file and it worked. Thanks alot for your help.

[RahulChauhan]

Thank you Aaron, it worked now.

Great to hear.
