Re: Scanning to IFS Directory

["Jim Franz" <franz400@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A couple weeks ago I posted about a ftp issue from a copier (Xerox) to
a directory in the IFS. The same copier had an option to write to a "network
drive". We did solve the ftp issue and the Xerox copier/scanner is working.
In this whole experience we did have two different tech calls to Xerox, and
in both cases there were issues on the copier.
a. needed a copier firmware update (for "ftp issues")
b. after the initial failure, the copier had flipped a setting that "locked" 
the
ftp client on copier from ever working...
c. there were multiple authentication options on copier, but only 1 was 
appropriate for our network.
d. I did have to change the ftp attributes on iSeries to *unix and have 
users
default to a home dir (which was ok for us)
e. I wouldn't do this option without a ftp exit pgm

also - have you checked the Security Audit Journal (quadjrn) for any failure 
messages ? There are also job logs that can indicate issues (can't remember 
job name)
