RMA: Cannot read data

Hi KS-Soft,

I want to check a VPN connection using FTP service that located in other network using RMA. The port that we use is 6661 (non standard port) but used for FTP connection, when I tried to test that port, hostmon error said that "RMA: cannot read data" if i check alert when: no reply. If I uncheck it, they said the host is alive, but i want to make sure the server give a reply, is there any way to make test non standard port to give any reply?

I assume you are using "TCP connection" test method ?
"RMA: cannot read data" means test has higher timeout value than RMA connection timeout in your case. Please decrease test timeout.

is there any way to make test non standard port to give any reply?

Port number does not metter.
You should send request (byte sequense) in order to get response from FTP server.
You may send invalid request, FTP server should reply with server name and syntax error message.
e.g.
Mark "Send data" option and specify any data (e.g. 0)
You may also check server name, returned by FTP server using "Alert when reply doesn't contain <server name>" option.

Also i have a question but i don't want to make another thread.

I have ODBC connection testing, right now i want to use File DSN instead of system or user DSN. Can i do that while hostmonitor work as a service? And If Hostmon work as a service is it only use the system DSN even we configure use user account when log on as win32 service?

thanks,

If HostMonitor started as Service, only System DSN can be used with ODBC Query tests.

Please do not use "Bug reports" forum for configuration related questions.

I'm sorry KS-soft but there is a report about bug or problems, i don't know wether it's a bug or not. Ok this is my case:

1. I want to start Hostmonitor service using user authentication.
2. I make a test for ODBC query and then send the reply for any action it gives.
3. I configure User DSN and System DSN for that SQL Server.
4. It works fine when I start Hostmonitor as application if I use User DSN because i login using my Domain account.
5. When I delete my user DSN and only use System DSN who should work for both of local system and every user, the hostmonitor send failed message said that the specified DSN contains an architecture mismatch between Driver and Application.
6. When I add User DSN it work perfectly, and setting between my user DSN and System DSN are completely the same.
7. Of course because this is failed, when I tried to start hostmonitor as service, it didn't work at all because it will use my system DSN who always failed.

Any Idea why this is happened? Is this bug? or there is something wrong with my config?

specified DSN contains an architecture mismatch between Driver and Application.

What Windows do you use: 32bit or 64bit?
This error may indicate that you have configured DSN using 64bit Data Source Administrator.
HostMonitor is 32bit application and requires DSN to be configured using 32bit Data Source Administrator (default location: C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe)

Oh yeah,

thank you very much, that's solve the problem!

I forgot that windows have 2 different odbc source for 64 architecture.
