Kevin, et al: I suspect the main difference you are seeing is due to whether you are initiating a UniData session via telnet or via the console.
I don't think you have ever been able to get the prompting and responses back thru the layers when you start a UniData session in telnet. Typically it will hang after entering your user id on the target server. I just tested UniData 7.2.7 on both XP and Windows 7-32bit. If you start a console session and then shell out from ECL with !cmd - all is well. I was able to connect to another server and transfer a file with Windows ftp interactively. So - I don't think UniData introduced a change intentionally or unintentionally - though I have not yet tracked down the source of the information that was conveyed to Kevin's support provided in the context of his inquiry. We make mistakes, but we try very hard not to introduce any regressions or change behavior without providing a switch for that - witness 116 UDT.OPTIONS settings. Regards, Wally Ps Totally unreleated to UniData (that is - just opening a dos window without interacting with UniData at all), on my W7-32 laptop - I cannot use Windows ftp interactively when connected to our VPN. Hangs when any data is being sent back (even just an 'ls' of the directory where connected). Works fine when directly connected to our network. As an alternative - I tried using Filezilla. Works like a charm.
