Your 504 response is because your wsftp client is asking the mainframe server to restart a previously-failed file transfer - does the file you're writing to already exist on the mainframe?
The mainframe can support restartable file transfers *if* correctly set up (in the server FTPDATA config file) to do so, which it doesn't appear to be in your case (needs checkpointing previously established and block and compress mode turned on) so it's rejecting the REST command. I don't use restartable transfers, so I don't know how to set them up. If there's an option in your wsftp config that is asking for a restartable file transfer, then try turning it off.

For some reason only part of the cert is transferred. Below is the ftp log, in the log is an 504 error which is means 'Command not implemented for that parameter.' Can some one explain what that means and how can I get around it. Thanks Matt PWD 257 "'XXXXXX.'" is working directory.
