RE: Socks server port

iSeries client has the PORT keyword, FTP PORT(...).  So you can specify port
other than 21.  Also, even when inside the client and using OPEN, you can
specify the port again.
I don't know enough about your socks server to tell you if it'll allow for
that or not.

Alas, no and this is the point. The socks server is *not* running on 
the iSeries. It is running somewhere on the intranet network to allow 
the FTP traffic from the iSeries to go out on the internet network. 

The FTP server on the internet server is listening on the classical 
port (21). But the iSeries when running the FTP client session, can 
only reach this FTP server by using the socks server that is listening 
on the 8090 port.

I have aleardy used this kind of setup (for a telnet session, but it is 
the same), and I know that when accessing to a server thru a socks 
server, the OS400 uses the standard socks server port which is 1080. 
So, my question is : is it possible to replace 1080 by 8090 and if yes, 
where can I do it ?

WRKSRVTBLE is used for servers that runs on the iSeries and even if it 
was not the case, I do not find any entry for any socks service.
