Re: FTP Client Problem. -- MIDRANGE-L


Oops - sorry.

Check the FTP help for DEBUG.  This works when FTP server is another 400 - not 
sure if it works for a Unix server.


 DEBUG (To change the client time-out limit values)

     This special debug option is provided to enable users to change the
     client time-out limits when the default time-out values are not long
     enough for a data transfer to complete successfully.  Changing these
     values should be necessary only in situations where network traffic
     or other conditions cause transfer times to become very large.

     FTP client time-out values may be changed using the Debug subcommand
     as follows:


     DEBug    T1 | T2    [ value ]


     T1          When the first parameter is set to T1, it specifies that
                 the FTP client time-out limit for reading server replies
                 should be changed or displayed.

                 If the FTP client does not return an expected server
                 reply within this time limit, the client will close the
                 control connection to the server.

     T2          When the first parameter is set to T2, it specifies that
                 the FTP client time-out limit used while transferring
                 data should be changed or displayed.

                 If the FTP client does not receive an expected data
                connection response within this time limit, the client
                will close the data connection to the server.

    value       The time-out limit in seconds.  This value must be a
                positive number greater than zero.  When this parameter
                is omitted, the current value of the time-out limit is
                displayed.

    For example,

           DEBUG  T1 900

    sets the client time-out value for server replies to 900 seconds.

Neil,

Thanks for your reply, but that parm is only for the AS/400 FTP server, it
does not affect the client.
CHGFTPA only affects the AS/400 FTP server configuration.

Thanks again,

Tom Kennedy

Have you tried the INACTTIMO parm on CHGFTPA ?

Subject:  FTP Client Problem.


We have a process that is using the AS/400 FTP client to put a file
on a unix server over a VPN.  Every once in a while the connection is
broken between the server and the client.  When this happens the
AS/400 FTP client hangs for 600 seconds.... there does not seem to be
a way to modify that 600 second value.

This only happens with AS/400 FTP client.... I tried countless others
and each one allows you to set the time-out value at the client
level. On the AS/400 FTP Server you can reset the transfer and
inactivity values with the quote time XXX XXX command, but this does
not help with the AS/400 FTP client.

My question is --> Is there a equivalent command for the AS/400 FTP
client? or some other way to change the 600 second value?


Any help would be appreciated.
