I use FTP all the time. Some tricks:
1) The ip address has to be available from SE laptop in the cpu. If you
have the connections between the HMC and the SE on a isolated network,
then the ftp box has to also be on that same isolated network.
2) The 'case' for all items must be correct. Userid, password, and file
name.
3) The file name must include the full path. Since the patch can change
depending on what the ftp server considers the user's 'home' path, you
need to understand how the user is defined on the FTP server.
We use a cheap mini-nas box for storing IOCPs and ICC convfigs.
I have not tried using z/OS as the FTP server as we don't have it on the
private HMC-SE network. But, I would expect you would have to be
concerned with normal z/OS FTP stuff, like how the FTP server handles
adding or not adding the userid to the front of the file name.

I was never successful in the past with FTP. Relied instead on a thumb drive,
which worked great but required physical access to the new box.
For our z13s, a colleague was able to get FTP to work. I'm fuzzy on how he did
it, but I think he piggybacked on some outbound but closely connected hardware
that not everyone has.

Subject: (External):Re: z13s IOCP with FTP issue
Ping only proves the stack is up I think, not that the FTP server is up?
I've done this about a year ago when we upgraded to z13s, we loaded or had the
SE load the initial IOCP from a thumb drive, maybe you can try that, the only
successful ftp I've done was reloading (importing) the ICC configuration

Subject: z13s IOCP with FTP issue
Listers,
I am having an issue attempting to use FTP to import the IOCP for a new z13s machine. I can
ping the z/OS box that the FTP server is running from the HMC and the SE. But when I click
" ", I get "File not found on remote machine. Recheck the file name, and try
again.
My only real complaint, is that there is no log of errors to see what is
happening. My other question is has anyone actually retrieved the IOCP deck
from a z/OS machine?
Thanks,
Rob Schramm
