hi,

Following are the ftp commands,

-? - use -? by itself to display a list of commands or add the -? switch to any command to obtain help on the syntax and use

dir - displays contents of the directory

cd - change directory

get - the command get \<filename> allows the download of a file

mget - allows download of multiple files – this command and those above may be performed with read permissions

put - the command put \<filename> uploads a file from the client host to the server. This and all subsequent commands require appropriate user permissions to write to the directory

mput - allows upload of multiple files

delete - entered as delete \<filename>

mkdir - entered as mkdir \<directoryname>

rename - entered as rename \<old_filename>

Hope it helps.

<b>rewards pint if helpful....</b>

First Check with Standard program : RSFTP002 and RSFTP00*

then see if ftp is connecting there ..

if not then there some correct parameter input error..
