File Transfer Problems

• 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 of file you are transferring: Are you transferring binary to ASCII? See Chapter 6 "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 6 "MPE/iX File System and Data Transfers" in this manual for MPE/iX).
