Re: FTP-error 502 commend not implemented

[Scott Klement <sk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

hi Jan,

An error message that starts with a 3-digit number like "502 Command Not 
Implemented" is coming from the FTP server rather than the client.  In 
other words, the client (either IBM's client or FTPAPI) is sending the 
RCMD as you requested, but the server is sending back an error message 
in response that says "502 command not implemented", and we can tell 
that message is originating with the server because it starts with a 
3-digit number.

There's nothing that FTPAPI can possibly do to make this work.  To fix 
it, you're going to have to enable RCMD on the server.

It should be noted that RCMD is *not* a standard FTP capability. It does 
not exist in the FTP standard.  It's something that IBM added for the 
IBM i operating system.

If you are connecting to a Windows, Unix, Mac, etc, machine, you can be 
sure that RCMD will never work.  And, most FTP proxies don't understand 
it, either...
