Re: 500 Command not understood?

Vern,

 I realized that after I sent it.  Is SYSCommand part of the FTP spec?  I
yes, then QUOTE SYSC crtlib templib might work.

 But I suspect that the problem is that it's not connecting to a /400 FTP
server.

You're right, Mark, QUOTE executes "something" on the remote system. The
key is, that "something" has to be an FTP server subcommand, not a system
command. RCMD is the server subcommand that executes whatever you pass it.
And, since RCMD is an iSeries extension to FTP, not an expected part of any
server, there is no client that has a subcommand for sending a command to a
remote system.
