We are trying to convert some older main frame ftp scripts to automize. The ftp scripts require the use of the ftp command QUOTE. we have put these in the ftp command window. When we run, we get logged in correctly be we get an '500 - unknown command QUOTE' response back from the MF FTP server. These commands run ok when run normally through the regular FTP client. Does Automize not recognize these FTP commands or is there something else we are doing wrong? We are using Automize 7.x for this run. We have 8.x but not on the server in question.

Your response will be greatly appreciated.

Is the command just QUOTE or does it have arguments?
Is this a SITE command?

[ggustafs]

It has parameters and it is part of a site command. The command line is like "QUOTE SITE RECFM=xx LRECL=xx CYLINDERS PRIMARY=x SECONDARY=x"

[Robert]

Looking through our source code, we do not support this command in 7.x or 8.x Ftp command task.
The 3rd party Ftp api we use, supports the following functions:
1) SendCommand (this is implemented in Ftp Command task )
2) SendSiteCommand (this is NOT implemented in Ftp Command task as of 8.09)

We have added this to our wishlist and SendSiteCommand will be implemented in 8.10 to be released next week.

Is the ftp command QUOTE SITE now supported in Automize 8.17?
Where do I input these commands?

The format we currently use is:
QUOTE SITE RECFM=xx LRECL=xx CYLINDERS PRIMARY=x SECONDARY

[Robert]

This was supported in the FTP command task in 8.10.
This was supported in the FTP-j command task in 8.00.

Patch ID = 8.10 - Use with Versions 8.00 or later ONLY
Patch release date: 11/03/08
* Regular Expression test utility for filename FIND and RENAME added in Utility menu.
* FTP Command task - new command $$SITECOMMAND supported.. example use: $$SITECOMMAND::QUOTE SITE .....
* Encryption module - --textmode option added for Encrypt and Encrypt & Sign methods

Thank you for your reply on the FTP Command task - $$SITECOMMAND.
I was able to get the QUOTE SITE command working. When I try and send the file using the FTP task I am getting the following error:
**ERROR Information - 550 Mismatched quotes on pathname 'FTPLMP.'/TS.File.name.FTP

[melvin]

which FTP server type is this?
what task are you using? FTP, FTP command, FTP-j?

[tstretar]

I am using FTP Command fror the QUOTE SITE, which was successful. Then I was using FTP to send and rename the file. That is when I recieved the 550 error.

[tstretar]

I have the following FTP Commands set up to send a single file. User is not receiving the file even though I see no errors in the log.
Is there something I'm missing or doing wrong?
Any help would be appreciated.

[Robert]

is there anything in the debug log corresponding to the transfer?

regarding FTPLMP.TS.LMP00.GEEPS.FTP ... is the . corresponding to directory separator?
