I'm not exactly sure how the traffic is routed, but the test I'm doing originates on the same z/VM 5.3 system (168.162.215.71) that is also the remote destination system of the FTP PUT. I would normally think there was a firewall or something interfering but the following series of commands work fine when imbedded in a simple REXX exec.
In the example below, the variables are predefined with these values: cmsid=USERA, ftpft=DDR191, ftpfm=X and cmspw=XXXXXXXX. ... push 'QUIT' push 'PUT' cmsid'.'ftpft'.'ftpfm cmsid'.'ftpft push 'SITE FIXRECFM 1024' push 'SENDSITE' push 'BI' push cmsid cmspw 'FTP 168.162.215.71 ( Exit' ... -----Original Message----- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bruce Hayden Sent: Tuesday, October 20, 2009 10:20 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: CMSDDR & VMARC question I just tried a PIPEDDR dump and restore to the ftp server on a z/VM 5.4 system and it worked fine for both operations. I don't have any firewalls or other restrictions between the systems that I tested. Since the Rexx error that you receive from ftpput concerns passive mode and ports - is there a firewall in between the systems?
