The system cannot find the file specified. File name: Rebex.Sftp

Question

Hi,

I'm using rebex on SQL SSIS and all works fine on my pc but when I push it to the server it fails to find the dll. I've used gac to register the dlls and verified they are in the cag cache. This is the error i'm getting when trying to execute the ssis package any help would be appreciated;

Hello,

it looks like the Rebex SFTP dll version 5298 really could not be found in the server's Global Assembly Cache (GAC).

Please note that there are actually 2 GAC's - one for .NET 3.5/.NET 2.0 and another one for .NET 4.0. See more in this stackoverflow post.

So could you please make sure that you deployed the expected version 2014 R2 of all the requried Rebex dlls into the relevant server GAC? i.e. Rebex Common, Rebex Networking, Rebex SFTP dll's.

Let me know if the above helped.

Thanks its past my skill level so i'll pass it to my colleagues to see if they can work it out as i'm not sure how to install in both gac's

OK, please let us know whether you were able to solve this.

Finally got it working, we are currently using sql server 2008 r2 which doesn't seem to support .net 4 therefore when referencing rebex I can only use v2.0, which means I have to resister the dll in  the old gac in c:\windows\assembly. To do this on server 2012 I had to install the 3.5 .net sdk so that I could use the appropriate gacutil.

Hope that makes sense as I tried lots of different ways to install the dll against the old gac and nothing worked except the above.

Thank you for sharing your solution - it makes sense.
Don't be afraid to use the .NET 2.0 distribution of Rebex components, they have to be equal to the .NET 4.0 ones except of some advanced features like asynchronous API.

Hi I also encounter this problem right now. its really weird cause when i ran my previous binaries, i never encounter this error. but when i launch my current binaries i encounter this error. its really weird cause i never change anything in ssis. Hope you can help me
