RE: FTP Issue

Jeff, 
Yes, I have Standguard AV.  Contacted them after research as Rob
mentioned.  They had me contact IBM.  IBM had me run the following
CALL QTCP/QTMFEXIT PARM('*INSTALL  ')  In uppercase.  Then restarted FTP
Server.  

Thanks

Been there!  Done that!  Has happened to me 3 times.  If you use REXEC,
you probably lost those exit points also.

Had a PMR open with IBM.  They walked me through _manually_ reentering
them. What a PITA.  They found the issue and fixed it via PTF (don't
remember the number).  Has not happened in months now.  Do as Rob says
and search the archives - what you find there will be better than my
memory.

Exit points are in object QUSRSYS/QUSEXRGOBJ OBJTYPE(*EXITRG).  If you
have a backup of that object you may be able to restore it.  If you have
Supportline, call IBM.  They will fix you right up.

Curiosity question:  Do you happen to have StandGuard AV on the i5?
