RE: Authority issue for receiving a file

[jmmckee <jmmckee@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My first attempt was with FileZilla, just drag and drop.  No typing and no case issues.

My second attempt was using cygwin.  And, now that I think about it more, that might be a different issue.  Using sftp from Cygwin is using shares available to my computer.  A better test would be to use PuTTY from the i itself.  This has been a long day.

But, even if PuTTY works, that does not explain why FileZilla works with another folder and not this one.  Unles, that is, there is some access that does not appear in green screen commands.  I also looked at iSeries Navigator on the two folders and subfolders, and the acces appears identical there as well.  

Before the groaning starts, both folders and sub-folders are in QDLS.  This was supposed to be "just like" another application I developed.  The more I get into it, the more the differences become apparent.  I have a vendor getting testy as well as people where I work.  Thus, the reason to stay with QDLS, to try to get it done as quickly as possible to try to make people happy as quickly as possible.  The other application uses sFTP (or FileZilla) quite nicely.  Since I am able to connect to the remote site, I don't see how a firewall could be an issue - but that doesn't mean that a firewall issue does not exist, either.  I am wondering if there is a possibility that the error is perhaps incorrectly worded.  I had requested that the files to be retrieved be placed in a sub-folder on the remote system.  Is it possible that there is an issue with permissions on the remote system that become implied errors directed to the local system?  Just because I can read the directory on the
remote system with FileZilla does not mean that I can actually read the file itself.  But, I would wonder why the error message would not state that file could not be read, in that event.
