Question FTP allo command
Hi there,

It seems that the ftp command FTP: quote allo <byte size> does not initiate straight away? Why might this be, scenario below.

I have had to up the byte limit in order to put a control file of 70K bytes on to a server. This placing of a control file is done at the beginning of a collection session from our applciation. We are doing the FTP cmd manually but it isn't being made affective when doing the put and collection.

Does this make sense,

HP_UX ftp'in to a Nokia MSC switch.

The ALLO command should be treated as a NOOP (no operation) by those servers which do not require that the maximum size of the file be declared beforehand...
Very few OS's actually require a prestatement of max file size prior to file creation.
