I think there is possibly a bug here. We just ran into the same problem
today. We haven't figured out what the cause is. Nothing has changed
in the last 6 weeks on the AS/400 or the NT Server that we are FTPing
with. Occasionally, we get the 550 error. At first we thought it was due
to case sensitivity. It has always been my understanding that M$ is
not case sensitive, just UNIX. We proved this afternoon that case
sensitivity is not the issue. Maybe it's simply some kind of time-out
thing. We re-run the exact same CL immediately after it fails and it
almost always succeeds. I'll post more if we can isolate the problem.
BTW - we are running current versions of V4R4 and NT.
