RE: FTP script problem

["Shannon ODonnell" <sodonnell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Did you try putting the password on the next line after userid?

Subject: FTP script problem 

Folks:

I have a problem with a FTP script on a V5R3 system that's got me puzzled.

Basically I'm trying to automate the transfer of a save file from one
system to another.

My script looks something like this ...

-----
userid     password
quot site namefmt 0
binary
quot rcmd crtlib rmtlib
quot rcmd crtsavf rmtlib/rmtsavf
put lcllib/lclsavf rmtlib/rmtsavf
quit
-----
(yes, there are more than one blank space between the user id & password)

I'm overriding INPUT to the script, and OUTPUT to a log file, both are
source pf's.

When I invoke the FTP command with "FTP '<rmtipaddr>'", I get a "520
login by user userid reject" (or something to that effect).

If I login manually, it works fine.

The behavior I'm observing is the same as if I didn't specify the
password to login.

This worked fine last month ... but now it's not working.

Any suggestions where to look?  AFAICT, there's been no changes to the
system at all.

Thanks!
