Scott,
The 'actual errors' came from Arpeggio Software's ARP-SFTP product, which I've
been testing as a possible improvement to our current bunch of home-grown junk.
At this point, I see a lot to like, but we've yet to make a decision.
The command that was failing was an FTP PUT to a QNTC directory on our IFS.
As previously noted, the QNTC directories existed and were in use prior to my arrival.
The error message I received was: "arpFTP diagnostic: Could not open remote file for put:"
The cause was a disabled IBM i NetServer user profile on the FTP target - a topic that
has been covered in some detail on this list.

Thanks Scott for your interest - and all you've done to help programmers like me!

Subject: Re: FTP to QNTC
Hi Gary,
It is possible to FTP to/from QNTC. Works fine when I try it...
But, FTPing to/from QNTC is a strange thing to do. QNTC is a file system that accesses other computers over the network. i.e. it's normally an alternative to FTP.
However, due to the design of the IFS (which allows all file systems to be treated pretty much the same) QNTC does work through FTP. There might be a few odd instances where this is handy, for example, if using a remote computer that can't access Windows Networking, but can access FTP. Then it would make sense to use the QNTC file system to access computers that only have Windows Networking services available. But, of course, this isn't very efficient, and is an unusual situation.
At any rate, "failed" doesn't really provide much detail about your situation. Can you tell us the actual errors or symptoms that you are experiencing?

My attempts to FTP to/from our QNTC have so far failed.
What Permissions do I need on Directories to support FTP ?
