No Directory Listing - AS400

[jmeola]

I have successfully connected to ftp sites using CoreFTP1.2 for about 2 weeks now. However, there is one site of which when I connect I do not get a directory listing. The only difference between this site and all the others I can successfully connect to is this one is located on an AS400 server. I have provided a log listing of this session.

Thanks for the quick response. Unfortunately, this is not a server under my control. Rather, it is a vendor of which will not allow a test account.

Anyway, thanks again.

i got around the invalid character error by putting the session in namefmt 1 mode. on the site manager click the Advanced button go to Script/Cmds add a post login command:
quote site namefmt 1
