I think the term you are looking for here is NAT or Network Address
Translation. It's basically the thing that changes your 10.x.x.x address
into something else on the outside.

Sometimes certain ftp sites require people coming in have a certain IP
address. Then you end up putting something in NAT that your address
internally always maps to this on the outside.

We used to do this but the fluidity of the internet had us turn that off.
For example the major customer who used FTP but the gal doing it often did
it from the local coffee shop when she started night school. The kind of
customer that when then say <excrement> you squat and ask "what color?".

ftp server rejects ping from both Win and i .
i think this will end up being a firewall issue if diff public ip used on
the external side of the firewall.

Firewall or could their system be rejecting the IBMi FTP for some reason

?

If a simple connect works from Windows it should from IBMi.

Try host name and IP ?

Can you ping it ?

subject: ftp to vendor system failed

I've used very simple ftp to other systems for decades.

Not sftp. Plain old ftp.

I can access other system via windows ftp with no problem, prompts user,
prompts password, connects.

Standard port 21.

No

Power i from command line or clle using a source member script - gets
stuck in TIMW status - no error message , just hangs.

No prompt for user.

Same system uses ftp to multiple systems every day. They still work.

As far as I know it's a Win or Linux system at other end.

V7R1

Any ideas - am having firewall reviewed.

Jim
