The server not responding looks like your MVS system isn't allowing ftp For laughs try ftping something text from your pc to mvs and see if it accepts it
Good luck mace ________________________________ From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:ib...@listserv.uark.edu] On Behalf Of Horlick, Michael Sent: Tuesday, October 12, 2010 2:56 PM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: Binary FTP problem Greetings, My client is trying to FTP a file from VSE to a z/OS system through an intermediary NT server. Since I do not have a z/OS system to play with I have been trying to get the file from this server from VM/CMS. In VSE I specified // EXEC FTPBATCH,SIZE=1M,PARM='ID=01,UNIX=BIN' . . LQUOTE MODE B BINARY PUT %INFIL,SAM,FB,350,3500 MIKE.BIN . I am now trying to get this file from VM/CMS. A little of the console: 230 User logged in. Command: mode B >>>MODE b 200 Mode b ok. Command: binary >>>TYPE i 200 Type set to I. Command: locsite fix 350 Command: get MIKE.BIN >>>PORT 172,27,128,66,21,251 200 PORT command successful. 200 PORT command successful. >>>RETR MIKE.BIN 125 Data connection already open; Transfer starting. Server not responding, closing connection. Abnormal inter-VM communication condition Abnormal inter-VM communication condition >>>ABOR 250 Transfer complete. I have no idea why it aborts. Looking at the (partial?) file on my A-disk I see stuff at the beginning at each record before the data.

What is the proper way of doing this FTP in binary and retrieving the file? The prefix data appears to be x'FFFF80015E' for the first record, then x'000000000080015E' for the 2nd record, etc... What are the correct commands to do the file transfer properly? Thanks, Mike Horlick Conseiller CGI Gestion Intégrée des Technologies 1350 Boul.
