I’m having issues running gets and puts to an as400's ftp server. If I run the native windows FTP it works fine. if I call a bat file that calls ftp with an input file it works fine. If I try to build the get or put in Vcron it fails. the cmd set looks wrong. I’m pulling member files from Libs. file names are long. if I send the help cmd I get the remote help cmds(the raw ftp cmd set) get and put are not recognized. and there is not root folder. I also tried the custom ftp option and got further but still cannot get or put even with passing the raw cmds. has anyone had a similar issue. I would like to have the notification on the FTP task, and running a bat file does not allow me to report an error with vcron variables.

Turn on extended debugging and run the Task. If there is any problem parsing the message it should be located in the log file (log_serverDATE.txt). Please extract those lines and paste here.

Note I looked at online doc to turn on extended debugging I did not find it im running 6.1.0

Found it, it was on. Are the logs i put in the previous Msg the logs your were lookng for?

I can't see any errors. Only way to debug this specific AS/400 ftp server is if you can give us a test account or similar so we can test connecting (and review format) of that server. Please send any account info to support@visualcron.com
