The problem presents as UFTP reporting the file being added to the remote file list, but then not being able to find the file when the transfer starts.

The problem was most often – but not exclusively -- seen when an FTP or SSH server is listening on ports other than 21 and 22, respectively.

This change is also available (for all platforms except z/OS) in the UA 6.9.0.2 maintenance release.
