A customer of ours wanted FTP access to/from an OS/390 system, but in our case *we* were doing the kicking and screaming. They wanted us to restrict the FTP transfer to a certain very high group of ports, because they were happy to let only a small range of ports through the firewall. We found no configuration option in OS/390's FTP server to allow us to do that, so had to code a restrictive set of PORT keywords to stop the 'undesirable' ports from being used. Cheers, Vic Cross
