Well, that is a very old version of FTPAPI.   Hard to say whether 
upgrading it could help solve
the error, but it couldn't hurt!!

ENOENT?  Yes.  You can read it as (E)rror, the directory has (NO) 
(ENT)ry for that file.
In other words, "file not found."  

One common error is that FTPAPI wants the filename in IFS format.   In 
other words, if you
have a file that you'd traditionally call QGPL/MYFILE you must specify 
it as:
/qsys.lib/qgpl.lib/myfile.file

Try to find the same filename using WRKLNK.    In other words, if you 
can't see the filename
by doing WRKLNK /path/to/file, then FTP_PUT(x: /path/to/file)  will also 
fail.

Heh...   If you can tell me how to reproduce the problem, or better yet, 
show me code that
reproduces the problem, then I can give you more specific answers.   
Otherwise, scrutinize that
filename, maybe you'll see what's happening...
