OK, so you are running active FTP, no firewalls, your macros always get the
connection and successfully do CWD. In that case, apart from looking at the
FTP server's log (a good suggestion I sadly didn't think of), you may also
setup a packet sniffer and filter all traffic between server's ports

I have an exec FTP2HOME that does 450+ FTPs to users' homes drives.
It creates a userid VMFTP macro on a VDISK and then invokes VMFTP to
exec it. The FTP2HOME EXEC creates and runs 384 macros before it
gets a -5 RC. There

something like that. The number kept on incrementing with each
successive file until the

I run a VMFTP macro frequently and 99% of the time it works
perfectly. But once in a while I will get a return code of -5 after
the PUT fn1 fn2
Has anyone else experienced this?
I think it is CMS that is issuing this negative RC but I can't find
a list of CMS return codes.

I should have investigated this further before bothering the list.
I looked at the source for VMFTP and it return -5 on subcommand syntax error
I run the VMFTP with the ECHO ALL option and I can not see a syntax
error. And the -5 is always on the PUT command.
