a specific character set may not be listed into another encoding character
set and may not be available for FTP operations.
Anonymous Connection Not Supported
3
A SDLT 600A FTP server does not support anonymous connection. Any
attempt to connect with anonymous connection causes the following
error message:
Unable to connect to remote server and unable to setup a secure
anonymous FTP
Remember, only root (password is
password
) and guest (password is
guest
) connections are supported.
When the login is set to anonymous at the first try to connect to the built-
in Java client, then the following tries will keep the same login
anonymous. If you do not enter a login and password, the Java FTP client
always tries to connect as anonymous.
To work around this problem, type OK to exit the error message window
and go to the Configuration page. Select the connection that has been
automatically named as @x.x.x.x:21 (where x.x.x.x is the IP address) and
set the login and password correctly. Then select
Apply
.
Text Data Transfer Mode Not Allowed
3
Because the SDLT 600A does not support ASCII data transfer, a user has
to set the mode for the put (upload) and get (download) operations of text
files into its FTP client (if not the Java FTP client). Set the mode from
AUTOMATIC to BINARY, exit the FTP client, and reload it.
Frequent FTP Client Timeouts
3
An FTP client timeout occurs when the FTP server does not answer an
FTP command within the allocated time.
A client timeout may occur on long tape operations such as a locate. A
work around for the built-in FTP client is to increase the timeout value.
