File Transfer Problems 

For file transfer problems, first turn verbose and debug on.

   *   Use the LS or DIR command to verify the file name spelling.

   *   Check how file names are entered:  some systems support both
       uppercase and lowercase file names.  Some systems support
       characters in file names that are not supported on MPE/iX.

   *   On MPE/iX, using MPUT, resulting files are in uppercase letters
       (on non-MPE/iX system).  Use CASE command to force file names to
       lowercase.

   *   Supported file types:  must be binary or ASCII, fixed or variable
       records.

   *   Check the default file transfer type you are using.  Enter:

            ftp> TYPE

   *   Check the type if file you are transferring:  Are you transferring
       binary to ASCII? See chapter on "MPE/iX File System and Data
       Transfers."

   *   Check the size of records, and file types supported on the remote
       host and MPE/iX (see chapter on "MPE/iX File System and Data
       Transfers" in this manual for MPE/iX).
