I have: SQL A - Publisher (SQL 2008 R2 Dev) SQL B - Subscriber (SQL 2008 R2 Standard)
SQL A and SQL B are on different networks, not a direct connection.
I allow FTP publishing to SQL A. SQL B subscription has been created to receive files from FTP.
But for some reason, when I ran the agent on SQL B, it gives an error, can’t connect to SQL A. Uhmm, duh? Of course, because this is FTP replication, there is no connection.
What am I doing wrong?
