I have seen this scenario before when the programmer has extra characters (past column 80) in the SYSIN. FTP treated it as part of the connection name. It would be more helpful to post the output of the job... Steve -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Adrian H Auer-Hudson Sent: Wednesday, May 25, 2005 2:11 PM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: EDC8128I Connection refused. Hi all, FYI. I am an apps programmer. We seem to have a lack of ftp knowledge at my place of employment. We are having several ftps fail and the ball seems to rest firmly in my court. This is an example of the ftp commands input to a failing mainframe to network batch ftp job. The only thing I have changed is the password. I substituted the word "password": eaid2 User eaidm password CD /EAI/STP/data_impact/in/ PUT 'PPPCGLD.XGLD264.D0105.MONTHLY' ParamMonthlyGL0105.txt quit * The job, and its brethren fail with "EDC8128I Connection refused.". HOWEVER, if I go to ISPF 6, and type the TSO command 'ftp' then enter the above listed ftp command lines in sequence, IT WORKS. Somebody tell me what is happening, please?
