RE: FTP, Connections and QTCP User ID

Brad:

Parts of this aren't making sense. I followed the comments from Rob and then 
your reply. Comments included:

It's actually the userid passed in by the FTP exit
program.

and

No, the Connect has always been QTCP (this is the
connection when getting the login screen... there is no
userid at that point).

What exit point are you referring to? And what application & operation 
identifiers are coming from the exit point? Those should help us know what you 
_should_ be seeing.

I assume identifiers are AppID=1 and OpID=0. QTCP would normally be the userid 
making the initialization request for a connection.

Is it consistent for the one user? I.e., ENDTCPSVR/STRTCPSVR *FTP doesn't clear 
the condition if that user connects again.

  2. FTP, Connections and QTCP User ID (Brad Stone)

I am working with a client who is seeing connections to
their FTP server with a "real" User ID and not QTCP.

I've always seen that when you initially connect to the FTP
server it uses user ID QTCP.  But in this case it's
connecting with their own user id.

They are on V5R3, so I am not sure if something has
changed, or if there is a way to configure an FTP client to
connect with a different user id.

There is just one UserID that is doing this.  All others
initially connect with QTCP.
