FTP from BT won't "quit" after successful xfer



Greetings,

Using BizTalk Server 2004. Service Pack 1 appears to be open.

We have an orchestration that sends an ASCII XML file over to an HPUX box at
the approprriate point during the orchestration.

It all works fine except that the FTP session never logs out.

I'm lucky enough to have access to two different HPUX boxes, so I put
together a very simple orchestration that just picks up a file from directory
on the BT server and forwards it to the hpux box via FTP.

Here is a successful FTP log:

< 220 stmeddev FTP server (Version 1.1.214.6 Wed Feb 9 08:03:34 GMT 2000)
ready.
> USER iss
< 331 Password required for iss.
> PASS xxxx
< 230 User iss logged in.
> PWD
< 257 "/home/iss" is current directory.
> CWD /tmp
< 250 CWD command successful.
> PWD
< 257 "/tmp" is current directory.
> TYPE A
< 200 Type set to A.
> PASV
< 227 Entering Passive Mode (146,145,44,34,254,62)
> STOR {0EF971D5-8EBC-4FC4-B1E3-58F06088F10B}.xml
< 150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for
{0EF971D5-8EBC-4FC4-B1E3-58F06088F10B}.xml.
< 226 Transfer complete.
> QUIT
< 221 Goodbye.
> PWD

The failure happens on the other HPUX box and the log is near identical
EXCEPT that "<226 Transfer complete." is the last line in the log. We can
see that that session remains open on HPUX side of things. (It does appear
to get killed with a signal 14, but I'm not sure this minute if that's the OS
doing it, some script or what).

I found this at msdn:

http://support.microsoft.com/Default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;888740&spid=1444&sid=312

That references a problem with FTP that seems awfully similar to our
problem, but it does appear that SP1 is already installed.

This link (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/871008/) talks about if the "FTP
Adapter is configured for delivery notification" -- how would I do that? Is
it relevant? I don't see an obvious property anywhere for this. I'm not
sure it's relevant since this is supposed to fixed by the service pack.

I "know" that SP1 is installed because it's listed in control panel. None
of the "help -> about" choices show SP1 being installed.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

TIA and regards,
