I believe "userid" in your example should be "login." Regards,

I created .netrc like this machine mymachine.comp.com userid myzosracfid password myzosracfidpw macdef ftptest put zlunix.filename 'zos.dataset' quite It is my understanding on zlinux .netrc I merely say ftp mymachine.comp.com and it should connect and login with the userid and password in the .netrc file then prompt for the macro (macdef) to run. However what I get is a prompt from the zOS FTP client to login, and it indicates a default userid if my zLinux id. What have I missed with the .netrc setup? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
