Re: ftp quote command not working

Thanks Tom.

This is an iSeries for both sides.  I've checked the exit points and it
appears that there is no exit program defined for either system.

wrkobj *all/sndmsg turns up two, one in qsys and the other in qsys38 with
both calling the program QMHSNMSG.

Here is the help server output:
> help server
 214-Server-FTP commands follow:
 214-Unsupported commands marked with an *.
 214-ABOR, ACCT*, ADDM, ADDV, ALLO*, APPE, AUTH, CDUP, CRTL, CRTP, CRTS,
 214-CWD, DELE, DLTF, DLTL, FEAT, HELP, LIST, MKD, MODE, NLST, NOOP,
 214-OPTS, PASS, PASV, PBSZ, PORT, PROT, PWD, QUIT, RCMD, REIN, REST*,
 214-RETR, RMD, RNFR, RNTO, SITE, STAT, STOR, STOU, STRU, SYST, TIME,

Remote Execution (REXEC) server... except, of course, IBM might re-use code
between them. But they are separately configureable and startable with no
reason one shouldn't work if the other was stopped.

for the server which might not be an iSeries, although the '257 "QGPL" is
current library' line sure indicates otherwise. If it is an iSeries and an
exit program is rejecting RCMD, the FTP message should be '550 Request
rejected.' rather than '500 Syntax error, command unrecognized...'.
