| My company has about 400 OS/2 servers, we are trying to implement a REXX script that transfers data to a UNIX FTP server at a scheduled time each day. The transmissions go well for about 2/3 of the systems...but the folks The files themselves only take seconds to upload...maybe 2 or 3. So Thanks in advance |

| Hi, AFAIK there's no such parameter to the OS/2 FTP client. I checked the help texts and there's no trace of such stuff - unfortunately. Hmm... maybe the "timeout" doesn't only affect FTP but the entire TCP/IP stuff in OS/2... which means that it *could* possibly be set somewhere else. Let me see if I can find that somewehere... BRB.

| Hi, it's me again. The TFTP command. Note that according to what is stated in the OS/2 help, the TFTP does not list files nor is able to do user authentication and can only be used to transfer files. 1 at a time (no "m"put or "m"get...). Maybe this helps (?) |

| Hi, oh shit! I seem to have mixed up client and server side of your problem. Okay... just to make sure I understand right: You are trying to send a file from OS/2 to UNIX? Greetings |

| Oh yes indeed, OS/2 FTP clients and Unix FTP servers... I had originally suggested that TFTP be used for this undertaking, do not recall if/why it was not considered... I see that when using OS/2 FTP servers, you have a default of 200 Thanks again for the feedback... |

You could always use ncftp on the OS/2 machines - which may provide better compatability with the Unix server. http://smedley.info/os2ports.html Cheers, Paul. |

| Thanks for the input, guys - we convinced the mainframe guys to make some adjustments on *their* end, to accomodate more connections. Sure appreciate the terrific feedback, though! |
