Does the ACCT field have the WRITE password for the disk? That is a requirement in VM. Also, since 191 is the default, you might need to issue a CD 192 to access the disk.

I am able to logon to FTPSERVE and issue the LINK from the command line and it works. Just for funnies I also added a LINK statement in the user direct of FTPSERVE pointing to the mdisk on SRG. Still Permission denied. -----Original Message----- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike Harding Sent: Wednesday, June 25, 2008 5:33 PM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: Re: ftpserve Some observations: - If your ESM is controlling links, the minidisk passwords are ignored. If it isn't, then you might try a password of "ALL" rather than "ANY"; there's nothing special about "ANY". - Check your ESM (you don't specify what it is) docs for the proper DTCPARMS entries for ftpserve, they vary between ESMs (and, slightly, for zVM releases). - Check your ESM rules/permissions for the disk. When properly set up to use an ESM, ftpserve attempts to link to target minidisks as the user logged into the session. It is possible to define a minidisk to an ESM such that it can't be linked even by the owner. What happens if SRG detaches its 192 while logged on, then attempts to re-link it? (The process invoked to create your virtual machine when you logon bypasses the ESM for directory-defined minidisks.) --Mike I'm trying to set up a user and have their 192 minidisk be there default working directory. I've coded the CHKIPADR.EXEC to look for the specific userid(SRG) and if a match, QUEUE 'SRG 192' I've change the mdisk passwords to ANY for all accesses. We have an ESM and I have coded the appropriate commands to allow FTPSERVE to link to the SRG 192 mdisk. I am able to logon but get the following messages: 230-SRG logged in; no working directory defined. 230-Permission denied to LINK to SRG 192 I don't know what I'm missing to make the LINK. Who is actually issuing the LINK? FTPSERVE? Any suggestions? Thanks, Steve
