Steve,

1) This is on a new partition.

2) If I connect locally (meaning via a 5250 session: FTP LOCALHOST, which is set to 127.0.0.1), those commands work fine under the same user ID.

This could be an FTP active/passive mode issue.

Unfortunately, basic Windows ftp command does not support changing this mode. You may want to install a graphical ftp client such as FileZilla, or WinSCP, then try one mode then the other to see if it solves the issue.

Security software on IBM I?  WRKREGINF and check the FTP exit points.

Check for authority failures in QAUDJRN ( journal type T  AF).

   I am running into a situation where an FTP session to a client's i,
where some commands work and others fail.

- Connection is via a VPN.
- FTP client is the basic Windows FTP.EXE, run in a DOS box.
- I'm able to connect and sign in using a QSECOFR level profile.
- Basic commands like CD, LCD, BIN, PWD work fine.
- Commands that access data like LS, DIR, GET, PUT have up the session
for a while and then times out:

ftp>  ls
200 PORT subcommand request successful.
425 Not able to open data connection.

- According to the network admin all ports for my connection are open.
- FTP to other machines from this PC work fine.

   Any idea what might be causing this?  Or how to debug it? TIA.
