Where are you FTPing to and what directory are you cd into ? If this is a "local" ftp (not to IBM) then the login or cd should have shown you that you have a R/O access to the disk, something like:
230-MAINT logged in; working directory = MAINT 191 (ReadOnly) 230 write access currently unavailable If you are FTPing to IBM, then be sure you are in /s390/toibm/vm _______________________________________ James Vincent Systems Engineering Consultant Nationwide Services Co., Technology Infrastructure Engineering Mainframe, z/VM and z/Linux Support One Nationwide Plaza 3-25-02 Columbus OH 43215-2220 U.S.A Voice: (614) 249-5547 Fax: (614) 677-7681 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] The IBM z/VM Operating System <IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU> wrote on 03/17/2006 07:38:32 AM: > IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU > > Thanks Jim,I got my "A" commands mixed up.
