Actually, I think that I've found the problem. There appears to be a firewall between the mainframe and the Windows box. The ftp which is failing is large (small ftps succeed!) and my estimate is that it is taking just a bit over 2 minutes to complete the data transfer. I think the firewall is timing out the ftp control connection due to "inactivity". I have so informed management. Maybe somebody there can light a fire under the firewall people to get off their fundament and actually look at it. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
