Hi Everyone!
I have a question about FTP on MPE 5.5 (powerpatch 6).  I have a job that
does an FTP file transfer every night.  Sometimes the server will be down
and so I expect an error.  However, occasionally it will just hang on the
open statement instead of timing out.  This doesn't happen consistently. Of
course the timeout is what I want, not to hang a job in a job slot.  I was
wondering if anyone else was having this problem?  Is there a work around?
I thought maybe I could set the timeout but this command is not allowed
until after you connect to the server.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
