Probably the Windows FTP server chokes on the path "/FTPFolders/CUST_081210184025.txt" as it uses Unix separators. You may need to use "\FTPFolders\CUST_081210184025.txt". I can't see the properties in the XML you have given, but when you configure the FTP adapter in the application server console there should be one field for the separator and one for the root folder. Both should be "\" rather than "/" on Windows. The default is "/".

Good luck!

Yes you may be right but i did not find any option to define directory separator during FTP adapter setting also there is no such configurable property in oc4j-ra.xml file of FTPadapter. Can you please guide me how to define the directory separator as '\' in place of '/'.

Yes Got it. In IIS FTP site properties there is one option for Directory Listing Style. I made it Unix then it started working.

You need not specify seperately the directory seperator "/" or "\" in propery configuration of a FTP adapter.
Instead serverType set to appropriate value unix,win etc will do the trick. In your case I have found that you set your serverType to win. I recommend that after changing the serverType property in your oc4j-ra.xml you have not restarted your OC4J. Restart soa-suite once again and check.
