?? Automate FTP to AS400 from and AIX server

[gogr]

I am trying to get the correct syntax for FTP on an AIX server to and AS400 and have having difficulty with the syntax.

Can anybody see anything funny here .

Details
AIX -server ff_dbase_srv_03
fpirl2 - host name of AS400


Seems to be picking up root all the time as the userid . No entries in the /.netrc file at all .


ff_dbase_srv_04>ftp -i <<_EOF
> open fpirl2
> user itsograg (itsograg -user profile on AS400 )
> password dublin25 (dublin25 - User password on AS400)
> cd qgpl
> bye
> _EOF
Name (fpirl2:root): User name not valid in USER subcommand.
Login failed.
?Invalid command
You must first log on with subcommands USER and PASS.
ff_dbase_srv_04>ftp -i fpirl2 <<_EOF_^Juser itsograg^Jpassword dublin25^Jcd q>
Name (fpirl2:root): User name not valid in USER subcommand.
Login failed.
?Invalid command
You must first log on with subcommands USER and PASS.
ff_dbase_srv_04>

I know there is no put or get but I'm not interested in that just the syntax
Has anybody seen this ?

Remove 'user' and 'password', just have the username and the password in there. iSeriesCodePoet

iSeriesCodePoet - Thanks for that info . Works now

the is the syntax which will send a file called flagfile.gog to library QGPL on the AS400

ff_mis_srv_02>ftp -ivn 10.99.0.118 << _EOF
> user itsograg dublin25
> cd qgpl
> as
> lcd /
> put flagfile.gog flagfile.yes
> bye
> _EOF
