I see lots of other dumps, including some of my old ones, so the DIR is
not being blocked. I have already started it again, and it appears to be
about 30% done. Wish me luck, I will probably need it.

Richard Schuh

Yup, probably a firewall server. It is using the user and
password you give it to do the open and pass the userid and password
before it starts moving the commands through. Since you don't see any
part of the file, I'd say either the site blocks the DIR (if you see
other files, then that's not it) or it realized it was incomplete and
deleted it. So, probably start again time.

Actually, it is a bit more complex than that - we have some kind
of server that we go through. It is
ftp internet
user>
[EMAIL PROTECTED]@ipaddress
password>
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
And then it is the BIN and PUT commands.
I assumed that the OPEN was being done under the covers, but I
do not know the content of the command being entered for me. As noted in
a prior post, there is no sign of a partial file on the vendor's disk.
Here we go again.

You actually did do an open, though maybe not directly.
If you issue an FTP X.Y.COM, the OPEN X.Y.COM command is issued for you.
If you enter just the FTP command to get into the FTP environment, you
would then have to issue the OPEN X.Y.COM or wherever, then USER, etc.
Usually I just quit and start over when it appears something timed out.
The file, if it got saved, is probably incomplete.

Subject: FTP Problem
Near the end of a 605MB (the size of the VMARC file;
unpacked, it is over 2.7GB) FTP, I got the message "421 Service not
available, closing control connection." Dumb me, I looked in the
numbered client and server messages and could not find a 421. Then I
looked in the section called "Reply Code Messages" and found a 421 with
different text. It says to issue an Open command to reestablish
connection with the server. This brings to mind a couple of questions
with my guesses in parentheses:
* Is there any point in resuming the connection if
all I was doing was sending one file? (probably not)
* If I do reestablish the connection, will the FTP
be resumed, picking up where it was when the connection was lost ? (no)
* What is needed in the way of an Open command?
(irrelevant if my first 2 guesses are correct) I entered no such command
initially, I entered an FTP command, answered the userid and password
prompts, then entered the commands BIN and PUT.
* I the loss of service appears to have been
outside of VM. Is there any way to determine if the loss was at the
vendor's server or somewhere between the two endpoints?

Richard Schuh
