Hi Admins,

 

We're getting the following message when using the MGET command in ftp from
VMS to Tru64 (V.5.1 PK3)

 

This example was FTPing using Tru64 to get from VMS. Parameters were ASCII,
CASE, PROMPT and NMAP $1.$2;$3 $1.$2:

 

local: wpsrefnd.pv1b remote: WPSREFND.PV1B;4

200 PORT command successful.

425-Can't build data connection for XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX

425 insufficient dynamic memory

local: z-events.pv remote: Z-EVENTS.PV;4

200 PORT command successful.

425-Can't build data connection for XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX

425 insufficient dynamic memory

 

It only seems to occur when large numbers (450 in this example) of small
programs are transferred.

Is there any setting change we could make (at either end) to resolve this
issue?.

 

The error is intermittent
