We have a watchguard firewall and we are setup to allow ftp out. Are 
there any settings that I need to check on the AS400.  I can manually 
from a command line enter the following:

FTP xxx.spcare.com
USER myid
PWD mypass
SENDPASV 0
BIN
GET SUE2.SAVF

when I press enter after the last statement it just sits there. When I 
do a NETSTAT I see the ftp-data and the ftp-con for the AS400 connection 
to the remote site.

I get the error message "Unable to receive data from TCP/IP".

Any other thoughts.

Thanks
