Hi, Kevin. I don't find any support cases opened by you recently. Can you provide a support case number so I can review your interaction with our team and the technical bits, as well. thanks

Everything I need in Unidata seems to work fine on this release with one notable exception: Unidata 7.2 on Windows will no longer properly execute the Windows ftp program. Rocket support has basically said that in this version they changed the telnet server so that it can only run fully stdin/stdout compliant programs in the shell. Because the Windows ftp program isn't exactly stdin/stdout compliant, it is no longer a functional PCPERFORM program. Even if the ftp program is scripted to connect, transfer, and exit with no additional inputs or outputs, the ftp program will still fail. Of course, in this case if there's a put in the commands it'll fail after writing a zero byte file, potentially overwriting something. I could be frustrated with Microsoft because, after all, it's their program that's failing, I'm more frustrated with Rocket. While it's frustrating to have a past ability removed it's more frustrating to have received absolutely zero warning from Rocket that this could happen. I've searched the docs for 7.2... can't find a word about this change. (Hey, and I could be missing something; that's certainly a possibility.) It's fortunate that this install isn't a big production system, but what if it was? There are several production systems running Unidata on Windows, so if any of y'all are using ftp or any OS commands that may not meet Rocket's muster, please be aware of this change in 7.2. BTW, for me the fix was to use WinSCP (in command line mode) instead of Microsoft's FTP program. So far it seems to work just fine though the scripting is a bit different from Microsoft's ftp client. _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
