Re: FTP question

huh?   Security by obscurity isn't really useful.

Besides, these commands are hardly obscure.   They are so common that 
housewives and students have been using them for years in their bbs and 
internet surfing in the local library computer labs.   FTP, finger, talk, 
ping, telnet, and pine are a lot more commonly known than you might 
suppose.

Whoa!

Doesn't this outline, step-by-step, how to "backdoor" an AS/400 from a PC? 
Perhaps a bit more
discretion and security awareness should be exercised before posting 
something like this?

JMHO

> As the other person asked, are you able to ftp manually?  I would test 
by going to Start,
Programs, MS Dos command prompt and doing the following:
> ftp your400
> dir
> cd yourlib         if this is necessary then this might explain why
ftp://xxx.xx.xxx.xx/filetodownload doesn't work.
> dir
> get thefile

debug your exit point program.  Simple enough using STRSRVJOB and stuff.
