A strange thing is happening to one of the Clients whose trying to get files using FTP from our Mainframe. This client happens to be on an AS/400.

Following are the sys messages issued at his end. The things that look strange to me appear in bold.

230 WFTPUCRC is logged on. Working directory is "WFTPUCRC.".
MVS is the operating system of this server. FTP Server is running on OS/390.
bin
200 331 Send password please.

bin
200 Representation type is Image
GET 'WLFA.ASX682FD.ACCTEST.FTPOUT' ojiftp/bor010 (replace
227 Entering Passive Mode (156,63,120,137,4,57)
550 Data set WFTPUCRC.WLFA.ASX682FD.ACCTEST.FTPOUT not found

The concern is , what all can cause a DS Name not to be treated as a literal despite it being in quotes ?
Never before seen bin and 'Rerpresentation type is Image' , are these indicative of incorrect set-up of the User Account or are these normal ?
Apparently those who set-up the User Account say its done right with all the rights and priveleges etc.

Ooops !!! That got messed up .... my intention was to bold only the following 3 lines

bin
200 Representation type is Image
550 Data set WFTPUCRC.WLFA.ASX682FD.ACCTEST.FTPOUT not found

Pls. ignore the first occurance of 'bin' , which is a typo.

I have asked the folks to issue a CD .. command before the GET command. Idea

Hoping that will Fix the issue. Will post again if that doesnt work.
