Yes the AS400 can do passive and you will need to use passive if your
AS400 is behind a firewall. You may have to configure your firewall to
allow the outbound connections as well

Subject: FTP Questions/Problems

Hi Folks,

I automated an iSeries FTP job years ago here. I have a CL that FTP's a
file to a Credit service and it's worked fine for years.

I got a request to FTP a file from the iSeries to a customer and can't
get it to work this way.

If I go to a Command Box I can.

First problems is they gave me an actual name - office.thiscompany.com
and the iSeries does not like that. If I change it to the actual IP
address it works as far as logging in OK but fails on the Put:

0001.00 Output redirected to a file.
0002.00 Input read from specified override file.
0003.00 Connecting to remote host xx.xxx.xxx.xxx using port 21.
0004.00 220 Microsoft FTP Service
0005.00 Enter login ID (chuck):
0006.00 331 Password required for "user id".
0007.00 230 User "user ID" logged in.
0008.00 Windows_NT
0009.00 Enter an FTP subcommand.
0010.00 > put iSeriesLib/iSeriesFile
0011.00 No response received from FTP server.
0012.00 No response from remote host; all connections closed.
0013.00 Unable to setup for an active data connection to the server,
reason code 2.
0014.00 Enter an FTP subcommand.
0015.00 > quit

They asked if we could use PASV FTP but I don't think the iSeries
support that does it ?

And they did mention that:

"You probably need to switch into PASV mode as we're behind a NAT device
where active FTP doesn't work well."
