The client works well except when connecting to IBM iSeries (AS/400) systems. It worked at one time, but has not failed. Does anyone have any idea what has changed and what I need to do to get this working again?

Here is the log.

Select the AS/400 server type in the site profile settings (advanced -> general -> server type).

Selecting AS/400 doesn't help. Tried three different servers and doesn't help on any of them.

Core FTP might not support the verison of AS400 you are using.

I say this because the directory looks like Unix,

257 "/QSYS.LIB/QGPL.LIB" is current library

The directory format can be added if you can send the directory list by right clicking on the remote directory, then selecting "directory commands -> directory info". Send that to support@coreftp.com and it should be added in the next few days. The directory should have at least one direcxtory and one data file (any file not a directory).

jeffd, I want to thank you for assisting. I am using Version 1.3, build 1434.1 of CoreFTP LE and OS/400 V5R2M0 on the host. When I right click on the remote directory (QSYS.LIB/QGPL.LIB), I am not offered "Directory Commands" as a choice. "Undo", "Cut" and "Copy" are greyed out, and the available choices are "Paste", "Clear", and "Change Directory".
