Change you unix script to perform an ASCII transfer as follows:

put unixname mpename;rec=-236,,f,ascii;disc=nnn (nnn=desired file limit)

Hi All,

I'm working on an application that is sending a file from a unix box via FTP to
my 3k.
The file is 236 bytes all displayable characters. So far my results seem to be:

 PUT (ascii) --->>  80 records
 PUT (binary) -->> 256 bytes w/ successive records wrapping forward to
make up
                                                   the remaining bytes to fill
the record.
 GET(ascii from the 3k) -->> File ok.

Does the BLDPARMS file used when FTP is initiated from another box or not. I
would like to
put the burden of transmission on the other system where the data originates.

Any and all help is appreciated,
John
