Alan, thanks for the reply. My FTPSERVE was already setup with the correct posix params. I am trying to FTP to FTPSERVE (on VM) from a Linux guest on an IFL. I would be issuing a PUT filename.filetype from the Linux guest. Sorry if I didn't make that clear in the first posting. All that being said, I am still unable to do a PUT. Steve

First you have to follow the setup instructions in "z/VM V5R3.0 TCP/IP Pl anning and Customization": In order for FTP clients to access files and directories in the Byte File System (BFS), the FTP server must be defined as a POSIX "superuser." To allow this capability, the fol lowing statement must be included in the CP directory: POSIXINFO UID 0 GID 0 See z/VM: OpenExtensions User's Guide and z/VM: CP Planning and Administr ation for more information about configuring the FTP server in this manner. Second you have to use the correct syntax in "z/VM V5R3.0 TCP/IP User's G uide": CD /../VMBFS:VMSYSY:LNXUDB/path/ GET file.name etc. The /../VMBFS: is a constant!
