Re: FTP Question

["Patrick Townsend" <patownsend@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Rich,

Besides the other suggestions that have been offered, you might check to see
if there were any changes to the firewall and/or proxy settings in the
network. The 5 minute timeout delay might indicate that the data channel of
the FTP session is being blocked. From the mainframe side have them specify
passive mode to see if this helps.
