Re: FTP Question

[Dr Syd Nicholson <sydnic@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I recommend that you use the NETSTAT command on the 400 to determine if
the connection is available.

Use option 1 to see if the interface is active. If not it can be started
with option 9 (assuming TCP has been started).
Use option 3 to see if the port is open. If the port is not in the list,
FTP is not active for some reason.

If FTP is not active try the command STRTCPSVR *FTP and see if it
starts. If not review the job log of the FTP server job to try and
determine why it can't start.

Hope this helps
