Re: FTP TIMEOUT problem

Richard,
Both ports 20 and 21 are used for FTP.
Is there a firewall or router between the client and the AS/400 machine ? On the AS/400 enter FTP localhost and see what happens.
Check WRKSRVTBLE. It will give you a list of all available ports but you'll have to scroll-down to find FTP.
Check also NETSTAT OPTION(*CNN) to check what's running on FTP and 421 ports.
Check CFGTCP (4. Work with TCP/IP port restrictions) if there are restrictions and check also via : CHGFTPA + F4

Port 21 is not available. The network gateway directs that to another system, and 421 to the
AS/400.

Likewise, I have used 423 for TELNET and Client Access 5250 emulation. This works fine, along with
the rest of Client Access apart from Network Drives. It's only the Client Access network drive and
the FTP function I have a problem with.

However, apart from whinging about non-functional network drive support (see below), what I really
need is FTP.

Does the AS/400 use any ports other than 21 (or 421 in my case) for FTP? Would other ports being
blocked be responsible for the "425" error message?

Thanks
Richard

PS: Network drives I just can't ever get to work for some reason over anything other than a local
LAN connection. They don't work over the internet, and they don't work over a direct dial up to a
PPP line. No matter what I try, IP address or what, I can never "find" the path to the remote
system to map a network drive.

(NB: Networking drives used to work fine until IBM dropped it from CA/400 and bolted on to NETBIOS!)
