Looking in IBMLINK I found the following. Maybe it applies. Also, there is a TCPIP Newsgroup you may wish to join ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBMTCP-L subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO IBMTCP-L Source..........: CA ASKQQA Last updated....: 20091203 Abstract........: FTP can't open passive connection in DV IPA environmen TITLE: FTP can't open a passive data connection on a DVIPA. USERS: Communications Server dynamic VIPA z/OS 5655HAL00 PROBLEM SUMMARY: FTP server gives 425 Can't open passive connection to FTP clients when connecting to a dynamic (not distributed) VIPA. SOLUTION: Code SYSPLEXPORTS, even though you're not distributing anything. PROBLEM DETAILS: Hi IBM; I'm having a problem. We have a system with a home VIPA 10.170.128.30 and a VIPADEFINE ip of 10.170.128.32. When I FTP to 10.170.128.30 and go to PASV mode I get 227 Entering Passive Mode (10,170,128,30,12,90) When I ftp to 10.170.128.32 I get 425 Can't open passive connection. Why? Hi Customer; Thanks for using Q&A Support. Is that address distributed? I'd like to have a look at an FTP debug trace. Please add the activate an FTPD server trace using the following command: MODIFY ftpjobname,DEBUG=(ALL) Recreate the failure. Then issue: MODIFY ftpjobname,DEBUG=(NONE) This will turn of the trace. Output goes to syslogd. You can e-mail the trace. Thanks and regards -- Matt Hi IBM; Yes - 10.170.128.32 is distributed, but not for port 21. VIPADEFINE 255.255.255.0 10.170.128.32 VIPADISTRIBUTE 10.170.128.32 port 23 3000 3006 3011 3012 DESTIP 10.170.230.227 10.170.230.228 I ran the ftp trace and it looks like ftp is trying to get an ephemeral Port. but port 21 is not distributed? Hi Customer; ftps[67305701]: SR1501 setEphemeralPortRange: entered ftps[67305701]: SR1823 pasv: listen() failed - EDC8112I Operation not supported on socket. (errno2=0x744C7332) This is a SYSPLEXPORTS not defined error, but since this port is not distributed, not sure why this is issued. I conferred with development: even though you are not distributing port 21, you still need SYSPLEXPORTS in order to track ephemeral port assignments on a DVIPA. This makes sense: if your DVIPA moves to a new LPAR, it needs to make sure any new ephemeral ports continue to be unique. Please let us know if we can clarify anything. Hi IBM; Thanks for the explanation.
