OpenVMS 8.3 TCPIP V5.7 ECO3 FTP/SSL unexpected session termination after PUT and other problems

[Peter Barkas]

Using FTP/SSL to connect to Windows Server FTPS Server and it works OK.

However, the problem I have is that the OpenVMS FTP/SSL client session terminates after successfully completing a PUT command, and the remote log shows that a QUIT command was sent.

I don't know why the QUIT is being issued.

HerBar$ ftp/ssl xxxserver2/user=xxxxxx/pass="xxxxxx"

Things I noticed during FILEZILLA setup

------------------------------------------------------

FILEZILLA server had to be set to EXPLICIT.

Note that initial connection is using the standard FTP port 21 and then the client requests encryption of either or both of the data and control channels.

The server controls the types of FTP connections that are permitted.

1. After successful ASCII mode PUT session terminates

2. BINARY mode PUT works as expected

3. ASCII mode GET works as expected

4. BINARY mode get fails with:

Current functionality is probably adequate for current project, however, a support call has been logged with HP, will log response here.

HP support is investigating issue 4.

HP could not reproduce issues 1-3, so the cause may be local network configuration.
