Re: FTP Questions

Thanks Vern, so, I'm assuming that since the ftp issue occurred the day after 
my chgtcpa on the iSeries that it was the chgtcpa that I made.  However, 
there's only 1 ftp that doesn't run successfully.  Is there anything I can tell 
the business partner to do to ensure the tranny completes successfully?

Here is some stuff I wrote as a tip for Search400 - it tells how to 
set all the possible timeouts for FTP - there are 2 each for server 
and client - you want to set the client ones

We know about the inactivity time-out on the FTP server. But there 
are three other time-outs that can be set, one for the iSeries FTP 
server, and two for the iSeries FTP client.

The TIME server subcommand can specify one or two time-outs. The 
first (required) is the inactivity time-out and is the same as the 
time-out set with the INACTTIMO parameter of the CHGFTPA command. The 
second is called the transfer time-out. This is how long the server 
waits on the client on the data connection. Defaults are 300 for the 
inactivity time-out -- 420 for the transfer time-out.

It is also possible to change client time-outs, using the debug 
subcommand. As with the server, there are two time-outs. The first is 
for the control connection. It sets how long the client waits for 
server replies. The second is for the data connection. This one sets 
how long the client waits for a response on the data connection. 
Defaults are 600 and 420 seconds, respectively.


Code

To set the inactivity time-out of an iSeries FTP server to 15 minutes:

QUOTE TIME 900

To set both the inactivity and transfer time-outs of an iSeries FTP 
server to 15 minutes:

QUOTE TIME 900 900

To set the inactivity time-out of an iSeries FTP client to 15 minutes:

DEBUG T1 900

To set the transfer time-out of an iSeries FTP client to 15 minutes:

DEBUG T2 900

That's right around the time the transfer ends...every time on the 
system.  Are you referring to the tcp keep alive parm?

How am I going to be able to complete this transmission, in the 
future?  What must change?

I bet your connection closes after 5 minutes of data transfer.  Default
is 120 minutes and I am set to 10 minutes.  If your control connection
is idle for 5 minutes, the iSeries sends a probe to the other side.  If
that is blocked by a firewall, the connection gets dropped.

Check you TCP timeout or keep alive setting.  If the keep alives are
blocked, you connection will be dropped.
CHGTCPA TCPKEEPALV(XXX) *DEFAULT IS 120 MINUTES

also check
CGHFTPA INACTTIMO(XXX) mine is at 600

Thanks for the info folks.  When I ran the exact same ftp commands from
my pc I was able to receive the file successfully.  Would that mean that
the mode was wrong or the port...or ?
