got a question for anybody that may have done this.. I'm running mpe/ix 5.0 and have been able to connect to the IBM with the hp's ftp, however I have been unable to access any of my files on the ibm.. This is the first time I've done this. I also can't send any either. I think the problem may be with the set up on the ibm..Could someone out there tell me what I should ask the techies on the ibm. Other than 'duh this doesn't work, I need help'.. Does the ibm need to be told to allocate space to me? or have some RACF or ACF security changed? I can logon using my TSO id and pwd. Can anybody out there give me a sample of a transfer? what it should look like. thanks
