Re: FTP creates a flat file. Mr Rogers would slap me.

What does BINARY mode have to do with the errors you posted?


Here's what you posted:

append xxxrd60p
227 Entering Passive Mode (172,16,0,8,179,191).
150 Sending file to member XXXRD60P in file XXXRD60P in library TOMTEST.
Unable to send data to server.
426-Cannot write to member XXXRD60P in file XXXRD60P in library TOMTEST.
426 Data transfer ended.
226 ABOR subcommand received; no transfer in progress.

put xxxrd50p
227 Entering Passive Mode (172,16,0,8,117,97).
150 Sending file to member XXXRD50P in file XXXRD50P in library TOMTEST.
Unable to send data to server.
426-Cannot write to member XXXRD50P in file XXXRD50P in library TOMTEST.
426 Data transfer ended.
226 ABOR subcommand received; no transfer in progress.

What on EARTH does that have to do with whether you do/don't use BINARY 
mode?  Binary mode enables/disables translation.  It has nothing to do 
with whether you can send data to a server.
