SFTP Error When Connecting to Refinitiv Archive News

souyaku1121 · August 18

Hello.

I encountered an SFTP error when trying to connect to the Refinitiv archive news server.

The Machine ID works fine for fetching API news on RDP.
I ran the Python code below in my local PC environment using PowerShell.

Is any setup required before downloading Archive News for the first time?

The sample code attached is what I tried to executed.

Thank you for reaching out to us.

Are you using the company's laptop?

I got the same error when running the code on the company's laptop.

The connection may be blocked by the security software (Zscaler).

Hello,

Thanks for checking this issue. I executed it using my LSEG laptop.

I’ll try running it in a remote environment.
