Re: FTP Status Message Details?

[Patrick Townsend <townsend@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Joe,

I would be happy to look at a comms trace of the session and see if I
can help with the error. You can use STRCMNTRC to start the trace, then
ENDCMNTRC and PRTCMNTRC to end and print it. When you print it be sure
to just select the IP address of the AS/400 and NT. You can email it to
me privately at: townsend@patownsend.com
