I have been having problems using ftp from an RS 6000 to a win nt 4.0 server sp6a The administrative password is not recognized and access is denied. I have verified the services are running and created a user both global and local with full permission on the server with the same results. I am using the same script on anothere server with the same OS and SP without any problems.

Is this IIS? Look in the IIS mgr, under FTP services. Check permtions with in the FTP server.

Thanks for the input but one of the first things I tried was checking the permissions on the ftp server. I have also checked the user permissions and have been denied on the admin account. This is part of a cluster and the machine is configured identically to another machine that does not deny access from the RS6000.

Since you say that you can connect from any where else I believe the problem is with the RS 6000 and not the way NT is configured.
To try troubleshooting this try opening a connection to the ftp server using port 21. In other words try telneting tothe server on port 21. If it works then we know it has nothing to do with the connectivity but with the config of the RS 6000.

Thanks for the input we discovered the problem while we tried to telnet into the NT4 server. One of the first things I tried was checking the permissions on the ftp server. I have also checked the user permissions and have been denied onthe admin account. This is part of a cluster and the machine is configured identically to another machine that does not deny access from the RS6000. It opens the ftp session but refuses to acknowledge the use ID and password so I get a failed login.
