RE: FTP odity

["Doug Hart" <DougHart@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I run an FTP server on one of my Windows systems.  The FTP server is not a
native Windows FTP server but one that I purchased (3rd party).  The
welcome/greeting message is normally called a MOD (Message of the Day) and
is simply a .txt file that is posted when a connection is made.   It can say
anything.  Then when you login your account or the anonymous account is
checked for the /home directory and rights to what you can do (ie: DIR, CD,
upload, download, etc.).

So as you can see the FTP server setup can be set by the admin. to do any of
this.  I would simply assume that the FTP servers you are connecting to are
not setup the same.

Good Afternoon,
        This may not be a Midrange question but I hope someone can shed some
light on a problem I'm having.

We are trying to FTP EDI data from our AS400 to windows servers.  On one
server when I logon it says welcome to and let's me do DIR, LS and CD
commands, the other server doesn't say welcome and The following

 227 Entering Passive Mode (199,5,83,202,11,246).       
 125 Data connection already open; Transfer starting.   
 226 Transfer complete.                                 

Is there something anyone can think of that would cause this?

Thanks
