>> Problems with records being locked
One user says his continuously running batch programs inadvertently keep records locked while they are waiting for the next transaction to process.

The problem is FTP can eat up a lot of system resources as it converts and exchanges OS/400 files with other computers, slowing down other server jobs in the process. If you use your machine to provide a file download service -- where many users may be downloading large files at the same time -- the competition between FTP and other necessary server jobs can create a bottleneck on limited system resources.
