Thanks, Mike. However, I cannot find anything in /var/log that looks like any sort of FTP log or log directory on the FTP server which is RHEL 5.9 on z. Is there another pace I might find the ftp logs?

I used Filezilla from my PC and everything works fine. The install on a z/VM vm isn't though. Wher would I find the FTP logs? I don't see anything in /var/log for anything remotely like ftp.
