Hello Friends,
I have tried manually by giving the following commands on CommandPrompt.......
************************************************
C:\>ftp xxxx
Connected to xxxx.
220-TCPFTP1 IBM FTP CS V1R4 at xxxx, 07:31:57 on 2004-06-23.
220 Connection will close if idle for more than 5 minutes.
User (xxxx:(none)): UID PWD
331 Send password please.
Password:
************************************************
I am able to type PWD infront of 'User (xxxx:(none)):'....but not able to type infront of 'Password:'.
Password:...is not accepting any char which I have typed.

Thanx
Kathy

Kathy, The cursor will not advance , just type your password followed by enter key and you would know you are good to go ..when you see FTP> .
Also you dont need to type the password along with the UID.

A wrong UID /& PWD is the potential cause of the problem.
Both the UID and PWD get verified only after the PWD is entered. Since you have not posted the complete message , heres how you identify the source of the problem ...

Incase of Erroneous UID ....the error message is

You sure there aint any text that follows "530 PASS command failed "...................... as shown in my earlier post ???

The one difference I see is that we here use a newer version IBM FTP CSV2R10.

Anyone on Kathys version of IBM FTP CSV1R4 can clarify this ?

Kathy, Why not ask your Sys Admin to upgrade to the Latest version of FTP ? Idea

If you are connecting to a mainframe from a source outside, you may require special security permission to do so - check for "source of entry" requirements with your mainframe security personnel.
