Hello all @ 3000-l, RE: FTP ZIP file from MPE to AIX -------------------------------------------------- I am trying to ftp a ZIP file in the posix environment to AIX using an FTP get. I can successfully navigate to the correct group and see the file from AIX within FTP. When I try to do the get it fails with a NONEXISTENT GROUP (FSERR 51) error. The file name is of format filename.zip. I can get files that are not zipped or more correctly I guess without the extension. -------------------------------------------------- When specifying the file on the 3000, you trigger the "posix file name" mode by specifying "./" (example: ./ntp.tar.Z) or by fully qualifying the file name in posix name space (examle: /tmp/ntp.tar.Z) So, if you are attempting a GET on the AIX connected to the HP3000 you would: cd /tmp get ./ntp.tar.Z ~or~ get /tmp/ntp.tar.Z I hope this helps.
