Symptom
When using the browser login for a SuccessFactors SFTP account - after entering username and password, land on a page with error
HTTP/1.1 404 Object Not Found
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite
Reproducing the Issue
- Use the following URL to login to your SF SFTP account
- Note - the below URL is an example from SFTP DC4 - if your SFTP account is on a different DC, replace everything before successfactors.com with your URL - do not change the end part /EFTClient/Account/Login.htm
https://sftp4.successfactors.com/EFTClient/Account/Login.htm
- You will land on the login page as normal (https://sftp4.successfactors.com/Web/Account/Login.htm) - enter you username and password
- When you click login - you will land on the error page
Cause
- The URL ending with /EFTClient/Account/Login.htm is invalid
- The SFTP application version upgrade has been carried out in all the SFSF Data Centers.
- The web URL has changed since the version upgrade and while the EFTClient URL did work in the past, it will no longer work
Resolution
- Customers should always connect using the SFTP root URL - example - https://sftp4.successfactors.com, (see KBA - 2250792 - SFTP Public IP Addresses and URL's for Data Centres, for the root URL for all SFTP servers). This will take you directly to the appropriate page.
- If you have saved link or bookmark for access to your SFTP login page - please ensure it updated to the correct login URL
- If you are still getting redirected to the invalid EFTClient URL - please clear your browser cache and cookies
