The FTP server runs on z/os or the unix part (not entirely sure but my guess is z/os), the machine i send from runs NT. Could you explain the TCPIP.DATA, ASATRANS, CCXLATE and SBDATACONN to me? Are those ftp-server settings or can i adjust ant's approach to sending files. Cp1252 is the win encoding and i should be able to translate to cp1047 (IBM special encoding, dont have a clue), although not even this is confirmed, the hosties werent entirely sure which one (or they couldnt explain it to us). I also tried using binary upload for ascii files (which should work, shouldnt it?), but this resultet in unreadable files.
Thanks for the help anyway. Dan -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Jay [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Dienstag, 9.

I use the ftp task from ant 1.5.1 as is and have not had any translation problems. When I send text data I use binary="no", and a second task binary="yes" for things like .class files. You might check your TCPIP.DATA parms, see what you have for ASATRANS, CCXLATE and SBDATACONN. Also I have a few S390 java programs that send data to WINNT and unix, the code page that I use is CP1252, might be the one you want.
