Re: 500 Command not understood? -- MIDRANGE-L

You're right, Mark, QUOTE executes "something" on the remote system. The key is, that "something" has to be an FTP server subcommand, not a system command. RCMD is the server subcommand that executes whatever you pass it. And, since RCMD is an iSeries extension to FTP, not an expected part of any server, there is no client that has a subcommand for sending a command to a remote system.

David,

Why are you using QUOTE and RCMD? According to the FTP help QUOTE executes on the remote system.

 So this should work:

quote crtlib templib

Are you certain that the system you're connecting to is an iSeries?
RCMD is not a standard FTP capability, it's an IBM extension.

Is it possible that there's an FTP proxy in between you and the resulting
system?  It's possible that the proxy doesn't understand RCMD, where the
iSeries itself would.
