RE: How can I use Win2008 FTP client to 'get' data from iSeries 6.1 FTP server?

I just tested on some of my systems. I don't think you're experiencing a Win2008 specific issue, unless you have firewall rules in place preventing the connection.

On one system, I could not get it to work at all, even after specifying QUOT PASV which returned something stating it was going to use passive mode. On the other, it worked just fine. Both of mine are local. If you are remote, your problem is most likely firewall related, though not necessarily on the Windows machine.

I believe mine that failed is due to security related software installed in Windows.

One more thing: when it times out it does so with "425 Not able to open data connection"

Subject: How can I use Win2008 FTP client to 'get' data from iSeries 6.1 FTP server?

I have a Win2008 server, and am running the DOS FTP client to connect to our
6.1 box. When I try to 'get' or 'put' anything from/to our I, nothing happens. This *doesn't* happen when I use the DOS FTP client from my Win XP desktop.

Is there some command or setting to allow me to FTP 'get' from the Win2008 box?
