Re: Transfer of AS/400 File to PC (Excel)

[Jim Langston <jimlangston@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Amir,

FTP servers do not always allow all access to every directory on
the hard drive.  Most FTP servers are set up to only server a specific
direction, and you can only send/put files from that directory and
below.  

I believe your problem is coming from the fact that the FTP is not
going to allow you access to the C:\ANA directory.

On my Win NT FTP Server it sets the FTP Root Directory as D:\PUBLIC\FTP.
I could create a folder under FTP called ANA and send to that directory,
but never beable to go to the C drive, or back beyond D:\PUBLIC\FTP.  Do
you really want someone writing to C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT ?

Regards,

Jim Langston

Me transmitte sursum, Caledoni!
