Invalid HTTP status 404 trying to read file remote file

I'm getting the following error when my HP Insight Manager attempts to get updates from the FTP site. It appears as if the permissions are wrong on the directory (link) pub/softlib/software2 and since the permissions are wrong, my Insight Manager cannot get to the XML file.

Invalid HTTP status 404 trying to read file remote file ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software2/COL3293/catalog.xml.
Error downloading remote file ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software2/COL3293/catalog.xml to local file C:\hp\hpsmh\data\webapp-data\vcrepository\catalog.xml.

Can you perform the Update from Version Control Repository Manager by clicking the "Update from hp.com now" link under "Catalog" Tab?

Re: Invalid HTTP status 404 trying to read file remote file

It seems to work sometimes and other times it fails but it fails about once a day. It failed when I ran it this time with the following errors in the log:

No. I have not heard anything and it still happens periodically. I will get some failures and then it starts working again.

Miller,

Can you try to connect to ftp.hp.com from VCRM system using any "ftp" tool with passive enabled, and navigate to the path of catalog files(as in log).and try downlaoding then.

If you are not able to download the files.

Then you have to check your network to allow "Passive FTP"

Anybody know a solution?

To solve the problem the service "HP Version Control Repository manager" must start with credentials of an user account having Administrator privilege on the HP SIM box.

Marco MM is DA MAN!

I built a new 5.2 SIM server from the latest installation files and it had the vcrm service running under system credentials. I changed it to my admin account and it's now updating. Why this is not the default configuration is one of the many problems that HP has to fix!
