I'm normally a VM guy but I'm trying to do some work on z/OS 2.2, and I could use some help. I'm trying to use Windows FTP to transfer a downloaded tersed file from Windows to z/OS 2.2.
Previously, with Windows 7, I invoked FTP with this command: ftp < ftpscript.txt The ftpscript file normally has quite a few more statements but to verify the problem I condensed it to contain these statements: ------------------------------- verbose open nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn myuser binary put file.trs 'MYUSER.FILE.TRS' quit ------------------------------- The verbose statement allowed FTP to prompt for a password, in order to avoid having the password in the text file. Recently, I grudgingly had to upgrade to Windows 10. This process no longer works. In trying to diagnose the problem, I used the FTP -d option and discovered a difference between FTP on Windows 10 and FTP on Windows 7. The Windows 10 FTP client connects to the z/OS FTP server and immediately issues the command: OPTS UTF8 ON and receives this message: 501 command OPTS aborted -- no options supported for UTF8 It accepts the userid but then processes the binary statement as the password, and of course that fails. In the manual "z/OS Communications Server: IP Configuration Reference" I found the EXTENSIONS statement to enable FTP to support FTP extensions. The description of EXTENSIONS UTF8 states: "Enables the FTP server to respond to the LANG command, and to use UTF–8 encoding of pathnames on the control connection." So I added EXTENSIONS UTF8 in the TCPIP.FTP.DATA dataset. I cycled the FTP daemon started task, and the TCPIP started task, and even reIPLed the z/OS system. This has not made any difference. I'm hoping to find the way for z/OS to accept the OPTS UTF8 ON command. (Or for Windows 10 FTP to not issue the command.) Can someone please give me some guidance on this? I'm at a loss. I've done lots of internet searches and haven't been able to find any solution. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
