[Bojnert, Stefan]

Hi,   I think this mail was sent to the wrong person :)   This was my question:   Name: Stefan.bojnert Address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Product: WS_FTP Server 4.0 OS: Windows 2000 Serial Number for Registered User: WR-00102501 Problem: Hi, I�m having problems with a as400 user. He needs to download files from our ftp using a wildcard: For instance trying to download a file called EASY08.233.txt. 226 transfer complete > MGET EASY08A.* PAP402AF90/EASY08A 227 Entering Passive Mode (147,44,29,230,9,5). 150 Opening ASCII data connection for directory listing 226 transfer complete Character (0) not allowed at the beginning of object name. 227 Entering Passive Mode (147,44,29,230,9,6). 150 Opening ASCII data connection for directory listing 226 transfer complete As you can see i get this errormsg: Character (0) not allowed at the beginning of object name. How can i enable the serversoftware to accept wildcards? The user download the same files from our old ftpserver (iis4.0) using the same downloadscript as now, with success. Please contact me asap via mail or phone.

Laima   -----Original Message----- From: jong [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 12, 2003 12:06 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [WS_FTP Forum] Problem with Site Profile in script   I am using WS_FTP Pro 7.5 FTPSCRPT. I cannot get the following script to work. I want to use my site profile to connect, not an ip address.   Command line: "c:\program files\ws_ftp pro\ftpscrpt" -f c:\leics\send.scp   send.scp File content: { LOG c:\program files\ws_ftp pro\logs\ws_ftp.log TRACE c:\program files\ws_ftp pro\logs\ws_ftpsession.log CONNECT mysite CD %%%%%/* LCD c:\leics\in MGET * CLOSE }   The log shows the message   Address lookup of "mysite" failed.  It may be misspelled, or your computer may not be connected to the network or Internet. Also check that your DNS and local name servers are properly configured and responding. Invalid Network Address 255.255.255.255. FAILURE in command [CONNECT mysite]   It looks like it's trying to use mysite as an internet address instead of a site profile. I've tried surrounding it with " " and moving the site profile to the base Site directory.   Anyone have any ideas?   Thank you,     Jon Gohlke   MIS Programmer/Analyst Safe Auto Insurance Co. 3883 E.
