Re: Sending a SAVF using Operations Navigator

[Vinay Gavankar <vinaygav@xxxxxxxxx>]

@Natahan,

Thanks. But there is no network guy as such with this client and the person
helping me there has no clue. He will open up any port for me on the server,
but he doesn't know which one (and neither do I). The iSeries Access and
Operations Navigator work fine. Any idea which ports to look for? I think
one of them is 21. Anything else?

@Evan,

I did try that, but got a message saying that operation was invalid. Maybe
because it was a savf (with an extension of .savf). I was told that when you
FTP such files, the i takes handles it correctly.
