   Re: FTPAPI Login Problem

   Hi Steve,
   Honestly, it's been a long time since I've looked at the way CCSIDs
   are
   handled in FTPAPI.  I wrote FTPAPI a long time ago, and frankly I've
   learned a lot about how to handle CCSIDs since then :)
   The values in FTPAPI aren't sensible defaults, IMHO.
   My suggestion to you is to edit the code for FTPAPI.  If you search
   the
   FTPAPIR4 member, you'll find named constants called DFT_RMT_CP and
   DFT_LOC_CP.  I suggest changing the DFT_RMT_CP value to 819, and the
   DFT_LOC_CP value to 285 (or whatever is appropriate for your
   environment).
   Recompile FTPAPI.  (Or just call the INSTALL program -- it should do
   the
   work for you.)
   Then, try again...  (sign off, then back on, to ensure that you get
   the
   new copy of FTPAPIR4) see if that helps.
