FTP PUT creates a FLAT file (Tom Deskevich)

Ok, I cannot use a save file because I am at 7.1 and they are at 5.2, you can only go back to 5.4.

I tried APPEND, I tried PUT since you said it implies replace.
In both cases I get this: (file is is at destination with no records, built with DDS)

append xxxrd60p
227 Entering Passive Mode (172,16,0,8,179,191).
150 Sending file to member XXXRD60P in file XXXRD60P in library TOMTEST.
Unable to send data to server.
426-Cannot write to member XXXRD60P in file XXXRD60P in library TOMTEST.
426 Data transfer ended.
226 ABOR subcommand received; no transfer in progress.

put xxxrd50p

Cannot use replace as someone else had indicated.
put xxxrd60p (replace
Number of arguments not valid for subcommand put.

I get this when I sign on to them to try a GET:
Cannot connect to host 172.20.1.5 at address 172.20.1.5. Try again later

SO.....

I did call MR ROGERS. And he really calmed me down. I wish I could be more like him.

He asked if there was a system on 5.4 that I could FTP to. I could create a save file on our 7.1 machine with 5.4.
FTP it to the 5.4 machine, and then save it off at 5.2. Then FTP it back without restoring it and send it to the 5.2 machine.
That MR. ROGERS is a smart guy.
