Phil, We also use IBM z/OS RDP, and although I haven't seen FTP "hangs", I have noticed that when uploading lots of files that there are commonly errors that require "retry". We found that if using the Ant FTP task, that setting "retriesAllowed" fixed the problem. I would suggest that you see if there are any diagnostic capabilities in your FTP client that allow you to see if there are any other symptoms besides "hanging".
Along with the very good suggestions by others, I would also check your OMVS setup (see "z/OS Unix Init and Tuning" and z/OS Comm Server Configuration Guide). If you don't have syslogd set up, you may be missing important information about FTP server failures. Even better than FTP, you can use Co:Z SFTP <https://www.dovetail.com/products/sftp.html> at no cost under Dovetaill's Community License. - you can use Ant SFTP (SCP with "sftp=true") <https://ant.apache.org/manual/Tasks/scp.html> tasks from your IDE to automate synchronizing your workstation IDE - it supports JES job / output processing <https://www.dovetail.com/docs/sftp/using.html#server_jes> ( we do our builds with Ant scripts that use SFTP to incrementally upload any changed files, and then an SSH task to remotely run "make" to build or run regression tests) Kirk Wolf Dovetailed Technologies http://dovetail.com On Wed, Nov 26, 2014 at 11:00 AM, Paul Gilmartin < [email protected]> wrote: > On Wed, 26 Nov 2014 09:17:15 -0600, Barry Merrill wrote: > > >Our PASV experience with users uploading data files to us and > >downloading the (one) MXG Software file has been binary. > > > >At some sites PASV is required, or the transfer never initiates, > >while at other sites, enabling PASV causes the transfer to fail, > >often with a BROKEN PIPE message after moving many megabytes of data. > > > Simpler is better.
