RE: Save file transmission via FTP errors

I have never seen an FTP Put command clear a Save File.

Please list the commands you are running exactly.

What happens if you use the qualified name (MYLIB/OBJSTOSEND) in your
put command?

subject: Save file transmission via FTP errors

I am attempting to use FTP to transmit a save file from one iSeries
system to another.  After entering my user i.d. and password, I also set
the directories using LCD and CD then enter "BINARY".  The PUT command
causes the following messages to be generated:
227 Entering Passive Mode (10,3,9,31,144,186).

150 Sending file to member OBJSTOSEND in file OBJSTOSEND in library
MYLIB.
Member OBJSTOSEND in file OBJSTOSEND in library MYLIB not found.

426 Data transfer ended.

226 ABOR subcommand successful.      

The following two messages appear in my job log:
Not able to allocate object OBJSTOSEND.                            
Not able to allocate objects needed for file OBJSTOSEND in library 
  MYLIB member or program device *N.                             

After the PUT command is executed, the target system did not have the
data I was attempting to send and the save file on the source system had
been cleared.

The OBJSTOSEND file does exist on both systems in the MYLIB library and
no other jobs have the OBJSTOSEND file locked.  I have searched through
the QSYSWRK and QSERVER jobs on both systems for some clue as to why
this is not working to no avail.

I would greatly appreciate hearing from anyone that can give me some
clue as to what is wrong.

Thank you in advance.
