Re: Sending a SAVF using Operations Navigator

Vinay,

If it were me, I'd begin by asking a network administrator why FTP won't work. It may be that they've used a Firewall to block the port. If they won't open it, then find out what ports are open. Maybe they've blocked ports used by iSeries Access and Operations Navigator too. Maybe they only allow VPN connections. Who knows? Those network guys get pretty particular about how the network is used.

Subject: Sending a SAVF using Operations Navigator

Hi All,

I have a SAVF on my PC which I want to send to the i. I am not on the
network the i is on, and am accessing it using Client Access and the live
address (65.xxx.xx.xxx).

FTP is the simplest, but I can't get the FTP to work. When I go to the
command prompt of my pc (Start, Run, cmd) and type in the real address "ftp
65.xxx.xx.xxx", I get an error message "ftp: connect: unknown error number".

FTP server on the i is definitely started.

I can ftp to other sites from my pc as well as from the i - e.g.
ftp.microsoft.com

I also tried to ftp to this i from another i, but no luck.

Is there anything else that needs to be done on the i so that I can ftp to
it?

Otherwise, is it possible to send the savf using Operations Navigator?

Thanks in advance for any help
Vinay
