THANKS, Alan. But it's still not working for me. With the userid and password the network folks gave me, I am already in = the cpdvd directory on the FTP Server, where all the files I'm supposed t= o copy reside. So I figured I could omit the -d parameter (right?): pipe ftpget -h xxx.xx.x.xx -u xxxxxxxxx -p xxxxx -v BEF -DVDEOF -f CKD222= * |UNPACK| ECKDREST 2222 CKD222* DMSRXS1408W File TCPIP DATA * not found EXPECTED RESPONSE '125' BUT GOT "550 CKD22200: Access is denied. " INSTEA= D. FTPGET FAILED WITH RC=-120 Ready(-0120); If I include the -d parameter: pipe ftpget -h xxx.xx.x.xx -u xxxxxxxxx -p xxxxx -d -v BEF -DVDEOF -f CKD222* |UNPACK| ECKDREST 2222 UNRECOGNIZED OPTION: BEF FTPGET FAILED WITH RC=-101 Ready(-0101); I have a 2222 read/write minidisk with exactly 5 cylinders since I'm installing to 3390: query v 2222 DASD 2222 3390 EM0F05 R/W 5 CYL ON DASD 0F05 SUBCHANNEL = 000= 1 Ready; What am I doing wrong??
