hi guys,
we've got an error on updating ffdb database on our FortiGate.
our device (FG400E - forios 7.0) is in an isolated part of our network and we have to
update it manually. when I run the command for (ffdb update database) it says:
"command fail. return code 49".
would you please tell me what exactly this error means?
thanks.

best reguards.
I did it via TFTP. Don't think filesize limit is a concern in this case. From TFTP wikipedia
The original protocol has a transfer file size limit of 512 bytes/block x 65535 blocks = 32 MB. In 1998 this limit was extended to 65535 bytes/block x 65535 blocks = 4 GB by TFTP Blocksize Option RFC 2348. If the defined blocksize produces an IP packet size that exceeds the minimum MTU at any point of the network path, IP fragmentation and reassembly will occur not only adding more overhead[8] but also leading to total transfer failure when the minimalist IP stack implementation in a host's BOOTP or PXE ROM does not (or fails to properly) implement IP fragmentation and reassembly.[9] If TFTP packets should be kept within the standard Ethernet MTU (1500), the blocksize value is calculated as 1500 minus headers of TFTP (4 bytes), UDP (8 bytes) and IP (20 bytes) = 1468 bytes/block, this gives a limit of 1468 bytes/block x 65535 blocks = 92 MB. Today most servers and clients support block number roll-over (block counter going back to 0 or 1[10] after 65535) which gives an essentially unlimited transfer file size.
Hello,
To reply to the initial question

The CLI error 49 actually means that the password must conform to the system password policy.
I'm not sure how accurate this error code is in this context here.
It could also be used as a catch all error code if something else during file transfer failed.
> just this ffdb file has this problem
Is the Internet-service Database still updating via TFTP as seen with "diagnose autoupdate versions | grep -A6 Inter" ?

Hello. I have repeatedly written what we use to update the ftp server. And with the update from the ftp server, the problem is the same.
After an update with an error -49, the number of signatures shows 1623 and the version changes to the current one. Is it possible to say that despite the error, the update goes through?
Hello,
I see the same error for a long time on some boxes when updating manually. Try to "diag debug app update -1". In my case the error was something like:
Connect to ftp server x.x.x.x ...
Get other objects from ftp server OK.

The only solution I know is to reboot the firewall and try again. Looks like some app lock or resource problem.
