Chris, I apologize to you and this conference for terming your proposal an FTP protocol modification. I was wrong, and you were right regarding the syntax of the USER and PASS command arguments. Your syntax does make more sense than using a SITE command, but you may find some user FTPs that are unable to support it. That's life in the big (Internet) city. I would propose that ALL MVS software use a consistent access methodology as hammered out through appropriate facilities, in the spirit of interoperability. Perhaps an RFC is called for. What do people think? Best regards, Dave Craig Network Solutions, Inc.
