This will be true using MINIDISKs...if the user that owns the disk has the disk LINKed in R/W, you (FTPSERVE) will only be able to access the disk in R/O. IMHO, the best way around this is to use SFS.

I've tried a couple FTP products (FileZilla & WinSCP) which produces errors "Failed to retrieve directory listing". I finally found an ftp product that works (CoreFTP) but the CMS 191 disk is accessed as read only so I can't transfer any data to it. Is there a setting in the z/VM FTP server that causes this? Can I issue a SITE command (or something else) that will put the mdisk in write mode? _____________________________________________________ This message contains information which is privileged and confidential and is solely for the use of the intended recipient.
