Yes. Most likely you issued the wrong CD command. E.g. you treated it as a traditional SFS directory: CD vmsysy:lnxudb.subdir instead of a BFS directory: CD /../VMBFS:VMSYSY:LNXUDB/subdir (See the TCP/IP User's Guide for more information.) But it's hard to say for sure since you didn't post a transcript of the FTP session. Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott
