You can either activate the FTP server command exit and sample, or use TCPSNIFF to watch what's going on. A separate data connection is always used, even for passive FTP. An ephemeral port number is used. If passive FTP is really being used, then the problem is usually a firewall that only opens certain port ranges to the target host. And, no, there is not [yet] a way to control the ephemeral port numbers used by the FTP server. Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott
