It could be due to multiple reasons...to troubleshoot...

1. analyze detailed BIP logs, your Admin can provide it to you

2. try doing ftp from the server on which BIP is installed to the target ftp server, if it works it must from BIP schedule report as well

3. Check number of ftp threads in BIP admin page...sometimes when the thread configured are more but FTP server accepts only 1 thread...FTP just hangs

4. Check on Scheduler diagnostic page in BIP administration if any queue build up is visible

is the FTP client running on the same machine as BI Publisher?  if not, then you have a network/firewall issue between FTP server and BIP server

Hi Thomas,

Yes, on the FTP Administration page it is getting Timed Out.

But, through FTP Clients such as FileZilla/Winscp I am able to login into FTP server and able to transfer file also.
