Outdated connection defaults?

[ojessen]

Hi,
I'm not sure if this is a general issue, but the default values for the sftp server seem to have changed. What works for me now is

res_connect = RblConnect(user = bl_user, pw = bl_pw, host = "sftp.bloomberg.com", port = 22)

Best regards,
Owe

Hi @ojessen and thanks for your message.
Unfortunately it is not possible for me to check this is a general issue. I'll leave it open for a while so that if other users report the same issue I'll update the default parameters.

Best,
Emanuele

Hi @eguidotti,

I also came across this issue. dlsftp... continues to work for us in some places, but sftp.bloomberg.com seems to be the recommended host (see here).

Kind regards,

Michael

Thanks @michaelbolger for confirming this.
I have updated the default parameters to host = "sftp.bloomberg.com" and port = "22".
The new release v0.2.4 should fix this. This new version should be available on CRAN in a couple of days.

Many thanks,
Emanuele
