FTP User Messages and Errors 

These error and warning messages may be returned to FTP users on MPE/iX
while using the FTP user program.

In the following list of messages and errors, the exclamation point (!)
represents a variable value.

(FTPERR 3)   Error in loading keywords from FTP catalog. 

Cause:  The User-FTP program encountered an error while trying to load
the FTP command keywords onto it's program stack from the FTP catalog.
This probably indicates an internal FTP error.

Action:  Check the permissions on the file FTPC000.ARPA.SYS. The security
for READ must be set to ANY. If the permissions are correct, note the
circumstances and contact your Hewlett-Packard representative for
assistance.

(FTPERR 5)   Command must be less than or equal to 255 characters. 

Cause:  The user entered an FTP command which exceeded 255 characters.

Action:  Try entering the command using fewer characters.

(FTPERR 6)   ?Invalid command. 

Cause:  An invalid or unknown command was issued to the User-FTP program.

Action:  Check the command for spelling.  Use the HELP command for a list
of supported HP ARPA FTP commands.

(FTPERR 8)   Not connected. 

Cause:  An FTP command was entered which requires a host connection and
no connection was established.

Action:  Open a host connection using the OPEN command and try the
command again.

(FTPERR 9)   Cannot connect to host:  ! 

Cause:  FTP was unable to open a host connection.  Typically this FTP
error is accompanied by a socket error which provides more information.

Action:  Check the spelling of the host name or IP address.  Otherwise,
seek the assistance of your Node Manager.

Cause:  An FTP command was entered with invalid parameter syntax.

Action:  Check the syntax of the desired command in the HP ARPA FTP 
User's Guide.

(FTPERR 11)   Invalid reply code from remote server. 

Cause:  An erroneous reply code was returned from the remote server for
some FTP command.

(FTPWARN 15)   Some records were truncated during transfer. 

Cause:  A data transfer to MPE/iX resulted in some records being
truncated in the target file.

Action:  It may be necessary to increase the maximum record size using
build parameters.

(FTPERR 16)   End of File encountered on target file during transfer. 
             Target file not saved.  Increase file limit and try again. 

Cause:  A data transfer to an MPE/iX target file did not have enough
records to hold the data from the source file.

Action:  It may be necessary to increase the maximum number of records in
the target file by using build parameters.

(FTPERR 17)   End of File encountered on target file during transfer. 
             Data not & appended to target file.  Copy target file to new 
             file with a larger & limit and append to the new file. 

Cause:  A data transfer (in APPEnd mode) to an MPE/iX target file, did
not have enough records to hold the extra data from the source file.

build parameter.  Refer to the HP ARPA File Transfer Protocol User's 
Guide for further assistance.

you can do.  If the file is being accessed by another user, try again
later.

(FTPERR 46)   File name too long. 

Cause:  The filename specified is longer than the maximum allowed by MPE:
"FILENAME/LOCKWORD.GROUPNAM.ACCTNAME".  As of release 4.5, MPE/iX
supports longer filenames, but unless the first character of that name is
a dot (.)  or a slash (/), the name will be interpreted as an MPE name.

Action:  Specify a file name that is shorter or starts with a dot or a
slash.

(FTPERR 47)   Indirect file not found.

rights are.

Cause:  User entered "TIMEOUT [num-secs]" 

Action:  If num-secs was specified, the connection time-out value was
set.  Otherwise, the current value was simply displayed.

Note:  a value of 0 indicates no time-outs.

(FTPINFO 50)   Store unique mode on. 

Cause:  The FTP sunique command was entered when store-unique was
disabled.

Action:  Subsequent put commands will guarantee that the file will be
created with a unique name on the remote machine.

(FTPINFO 51)   Store unique mode off. 

Cause:  The FTP sunique command was entered when store-unique was
enabled.

Action:  None.

(FTPINFO 52)   Receive unique mode on. 

Cause:  The FTP runique command was entered when receive-unique was
disabled.

Action:  Subsequent get commands will guarantee that the file will be
created with a unique name on the local machine.

Cause:  The FTP runique command was entered when receive-unique was
enabled.

Action:  None.

(FTPINFO 54)   Command tracing on. 

Cause:  The FTP trace command was entered when command tracing was
disabled.

Action:  When an FTP connection to a remote system is established, TCP
tracing will be turned on.  If a connection already exists, tracing will
be turned on now.

(FTPINFO 55)   Command tracing off. 

Cause:  The FTP trace command was entered when command tracing was
enabled.

Action:  If an FTP connection exists to a remote system and tracing is
enabled, it will be turned off.

Action:  None.

(FTPINFO 58)   Command tracing file name is !. 

Cause:  Command tracing was turned on and a connection to a remote system
was established.

Action:  Use this file for debugging purposes.

(FTPINFO 59)   Data tracing file name is !. 

Cause:  Data tracing was turned on and a data transfer connection was
established.

Action:  Use this file for debugging purposes.

(FTPINFO 60)   Using byte-stream mode to transfer files. 

Cause:  The FTP type command was entered without any parameters while in
byte- stream mode.

Action:  None.

(FTPERR 61)   Unique file name cannot be created. 

Cause:  Either the file name was so long that appending (.1) surpassed
the maximum legal file name length, or every appendage from (.1 up to
.99) was tried and no unique name could be found.

Action:  Try a different, possible shorter, file name.
