Re: Unable to FTP to i from desktop

Mmmm - don't know what to say - have you created any connections using the Site Manager? Maybe it is not there until you do. What version of FileZilla are you using? I'm using 3.2.4 on at least one machine.

The QuickConnect will not create any of these entries, so far as I know.

Good luck

Vern,

I could not locate this file. I even searched for all files with my server
ip address in it (thinking that maybe filezilla changed the name of the file
in newer release), but could not find it (only one that came up was for
Client access emulation).

I have posted about this, maybe in the PC list, but here you go again.
There were other solutions posted in that thread, as well.

I got the same message you did. I found this information after a pretty
extensive search on the 'Net.

There is a special entry to put into an initialization file call
sitemanager.xml

1. Look for the file called sitemanager.xml - it'll be under
C:\Documents and Settings\your-user\Application Data\FileZilla - or just
do a search for it over your drives - I have my Documents & Settings on
my E: drive, but it's usually on the C: drive.

2. Look for the <Server> section for you iSeries connection that you
created. You should see something like this -
<Server>
<Host>xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx</Host>
<Port>21</Port>
<Protocol>0</Protocol>
<Type>0</Type>
<User>username</User>
<Pass>password</Pass>
<Logontype>1</Logontype>
<TimezoneOffset>0</TimezoneOffset>
<PasvMode>MODE_DEFAULT</PasvMode>
<MaximumMultipleConnections>0</MaximumMultipleConnections>
<EncodingType>Auto</EncodingType>
<BypassProxy>0</BypassProxy>
<Name>53 box</Name>
<Comments></Comments>
<LocalDir></LocalDir>
<RemoteDir></RemoteDir>53 box
</Server>

3. Insert the following lines after the <Port>21</Port> node -
<PostLoginCommands>
<Command>site namefmt 1</Command>
</PostLoginCommands>

4. It should look like this -
<Server>
<Host>xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx</Host>
<Port>21</Port>
<PostLoginCommands>
<Command>site namefmt 1</Command>
</PostLoginCommands>
<Protocol>0</Protocol>
<Type>0</Type>
<User>username</User>
<Pass>password</Pass>
<Logontype>1</Logontype>
<TimezoneOffset>0</TimezoneOffset>
<PasvMode>MODE_DEFAULT</PasvMode>
<MaximumMultipleConnections>0</MaximumMultipleConnections>
<EncodingType>Auto</EncodingType>
<BypassProxy>0</BypassProxy>
<Name>53 box</Name>
<Comments></Comments>
<LocalDir></LocalDir>
<RemoteDir></RemoteDir>53 box
</Server>

You can put any server commands in the <PostLoginCommands> node - for
more information, google on "PostLoginCommands"

It'd be great if this were in the Advanced tab when creating a
connection, but it's not - sigh!

Scott,

I downloaded File-Zilla FTP client and tried to connect from that. I am

not

sure I am doing everything correctly, but this is what happened:

After connecting, it shows me the current library, and on the next line
gives me an error message "Failed to retrieve directory listing". When I
enter the command "pasv" (by clicking Server and then selecting "Enter
custom command), I get error message "Disconnected from server:

ECONNABORTED

- Connection aborted".

Just want to let you know that ports 20 and 21 on the firewall of the

server

are pointing to the private address of the i (192.168.100.7).

Thanks
Vinay

Noooooo! You don't want to say "Quote". If you use quote, the server
will be in passive mode, and the client will be in standard ("active")
mode and you'll have a mess that can't possibly work.

Just do: pasv

Do not use "quote".

from the ftp prompt try:
