Donna,

it was probably me ... because we're suffering with the same problem. Beta
patch available - currently we're testing whether it will solve THIS
problem ...
since inetd and ftp and 6.0 we have several issues on FTP ... another one:
ftp reports successful transfer but file doesn't exist remotely: security
wise it couldn't saved because of security restriction ...

Best regards, Andreas Schmidt, CSC, Germany

Subject:  [HP3000-L] ftp and file opens


hi all!

i'm curious about how ftp -- on the mpe side -- is opening a
file to be 'put' somewhere.  obviously (hopefully?), it's
for read access...but what else?  i seem to remember someone
asking about this recently....but at usual i can't find it
:-)

and why i'm asking....someone has reported to me that while
they're trying to ftp a certain file, writes to this same
file (from other processes) are failing *even though* the
ftp process has issued a file equation with ';acc=in; shr;
gmulti' for the file.  the file is just your basic file.
it's not a msg file or anything like that.....          - d
