Re: Authority issues with FTP RCMD

Hi Mark,

Is it possible that they are not using the IBM FTP server, but are using an alternative?

Since RCMD is an IBM extension, and does not exist in the FTP standards, you don't typically find it on non-IBM FTP servers.

Also... didn't you tell us you were using FTPAPI?   Are you really typing "QUOTE RCMD"?  You should not be doing that in FTPAPI, you should be using the FTP_RmtCmd() subprocedure.

Thanks for the assistance, and it is all as I expected. I have successfully
logged onto the remote system manually with the same user profile, and
created a save file in QTEMP. I have looked at the FTP server log on the
server side (shows nothing), and Yes Rob, there is no FTP command named
RCMD. It is a subcommand that is issued by the QUOTE command. The whole
command is QUOTE RCMD CRTSAVF QTEMP\IMPORT. I am guessing that there is
something somewhere that is intercepting my commands, but when I look at
the system exit points using WRKREGINF, the FTP exit points show no
programs. So I am completely confused why this isn't working. Maybe I need
to look at the FTP server jobs and update the logging levels to show
something.
