Help explain this error for ftp script - Exception PROGRAM_START_ERROR

[former_member1214375]

Dear all,

I am an internship student assigned to editing the .ftp scripts from ftp to lftp (SUSE 12).

If there are no error in the script, then the other department would be the one to fix it.

Here is sample of one of the script:

# I removed

echo "TEST"
pwd
lpwd
ls
cd **directory**
ls
lcd **directory**
#ascii
#prompt off
#mput PO_*RESULT.txt
mput -a PO_*RESULT.txt
bye

Please help me fix or explain the following errors:

Can I fix this by just editing the script above? If not, then what should I tell the other department.

Issue no. 972
Job: ***
Related parameter:
SXPG_STEP_XPG_START: is_local_host: rc = 403
SXPG_STEP_XPG_START: host = pperinfdev
SXPG_STEP_XPG_START: is_local_r3_host: rc = 802

SXPG_STEP_COMMAND_START: SXPG_STEP_XPG_START returned: 1,003
Exception PROGRAM_START_ERROR
Failed to start external program

Ps. I already asked this. I changed some part in the ftp script and already told the other department, but still got errors.

I suspect your problem is here

mput -a PO_*RESULT.txt

mput is not a program - it is a command within the FTP client program.

Look at man ftp - try using the URL format for the command-line; you might also be able to specify a macro file and tell the ftp client to use that for its commands.
