The VMS Workstation won't allow ftp requests?

Answer

This problem has been seen on a number of PWS workstations. Some PWS workstations do not allow FTP requests to be serviced correctly. The user is able to open an FTP session from the PWS to another system running an FTP server, but the user is unable to open an FTP session from a remote terminal on the PWS.

This problem is caused by file permissions not being set correctly on the system-wide login file. Follow the commands below to change the permissions and rectify the problem:

  1. Log in as SYSTEM and open a DEC Term, enter the following:
          $ SET PROT=W:RE SYS$MANAGER:SYLOGIN.COM
  2. FTP requests should now be serviced correctly by the PWS
