RE: 500 Command not understood?

[qsrvbas@xxxxxxxxxxxx (Tom Liotta)]

David:

If an FTP proxy is involved, I'm not sure it matters whether the target is an 
OS/400 system or not -- I suppose that would depend on how the proxy handled 
the conversation.

In any case, since the RCMD subcommand is being used, the target is _intended_ 
to be an OS/400 FTP server regardless of what it actually is. In that case, 
might as well just try the CRTL subcommand and forget RCMD for CRTLIB. CRTL is 
a server subcommand just like RCMD but specifically does a CRTLIB.

_Any_ chance you're having a CCSID issue? Might try [RCMD] instead of [rcmd] 
just in case.
