ftp passive mode on os/390

[rozzay]

Morning hopefully I am at the correct forum. I am trying to ftp a file from ibm os/390 to an aix mailbox. I would like to try using passive mode but receive an error when attempting so. Is it possible to do ftp passive from os/390?
====================================
ftp.site.com 21

password
ascii
passive
cd /INBOUND/APPLICATION/FILE
PUT 'old_file.txt' old.txt
QUIT

Well we use an add-on product to FTP in the background from Barnard Software. We use it to FTP our check extract file to a server and then we have special software on the server to write the checks on a customized HP Laser Printer.

We are running our mainframe on VSE/ESA on an IBM X-Server with a Special Emulation package. Works fine as long as the network is up and running.

Barnard software specializes in FTP products.
A company called MSI System Integrators did our S390 System Integration project to get it up and running. Dont know if this will help, since we dont run MVS.

Might try this forum:

PASV is the keyword/command for PASSIVE when initiating
an FTP from z/OS Batch I believe. (if my memory serves me correctly

So, change your passive control card to pasv and give that a try. Besides that, any additional errors you maybe encountering you will need to be more specific (extact) error messages etc.. and syslog of job etc.. to better
isolate and identify just what maybe happening.
