Re: Unable to FTP to i from desktop

As you can see from the log, it is unable to retrieve the directory listing
and I get disconnected from the server. So there is no file structure in the
right-side panel (under Remote site).

AS400 is at V5R3.

How all this started was that I was trying to install a 3rd party software
on my PC which was using FTP to automatically connect to the as400 and
transfer some files to it and install a part of the software on the as400.
That did not work and I traced it to a failure of FTP. So I was trying to
see if I can do FTP from my PC to the as400 and transfer the file manually.
And that too did not work.

I am sure that it has something to do with the firewall, as I had another
user who is on the same network, try ftp from the command prompt of his PC
and that worked fine. (He did 'ftp 198.168.100.7' and I have to do 'ftp
65.xx.xxx.xx' as I am not on the same network as the as400).

What is it you are trying to do once you are connected?

Doesn't the file structure show up in the right-side panel of
filezilla? Then use normal up and own navigation with the mouse just as
you would in any file tree.

Drag n drop should just work. What version is the as400?

Booth,

I was using Quickconnect to connect, but defining the New Site as you
suggested, did not do any good. This is the copy of the log when I

pressed

In Filezilla have you used the site manager to define your target site?
(Ctrl-S).

In case you haven't:
You want to choose "New site" and then:
The right-side panel has 4 tabs, General, Advanced, Transfer settings,
and Charset. I believe you want to make entries on the first two tabs:
General = Host, servertype, logontype, user & password. On the Advanced
tab you want the Default remote directory. (If you don't know that,
exactly, you can use a 5250 session and the wrklnk command and navigate
to the directory you want as a starting directory and then copy that
path and paste it into the Default remote directory. Save it and then
use the "Connect" button to see if its what you want. From then on, its
just click the site to open it.

That should be all you need.
