Re: PC to AS/400 FTP

I forget what the individual &OPID's mean, but are'nt you ONLY allowing PUTS 
and nothing else, including sign-on?

>>> "Frank W. Kany IV" <frank.kany@burr-reid.org> 05/29/02 08:19AM >>>
I wrote a simple exit program for exit point "QIBM_QTMF_SVR_LOGON" that
works.  It controls who can signon through FTP in MS-DOS.

Now I'm trying get an exit program for exit point "QIBM_QTMF_SERVER_REQ" to
allow only certain FTP commands.  However, when I add the exit program to
the exit point, the FTP connection is refused by the AS/400.  Anyone see
something I'm missing from the program?  Below are steps I have taken, the
FTP session, and the CL source code for the exit program.

1) ENDTCPSVR *FTP
2) add exit program to QIBM_QTMF_SERVER_REQ
3) STRTCPSVR *FTP
4) Open MS-DOS, then try to sign into the AS/400 via FTP

Below is what happens when I try to FTP into our AS/400:
==========================
C:\WINDOWS>ftp 192.168.xxx.xx
Connected to 192.168.xxx.xx.
421 Connection refused.
Connection closed by remote host.

C:\WINDOWS>
==========================

Below is the CL program:
==========================

Selected "QIBM_QTMF_SVR_LOGON" with an option "8".  Added exit program
"FTPLOGON" from my library.  I wait a few minutes.  Go to MS-DOS and below
is the result:
