125-: Waiting for read process to open pathname
Explanation
The FTP server received a STOR (store) or APPE (append) command that specified a named pipe as the target file. The FTP server must wait for another process to open the named pipe in read mode before the server can process the STOR or APPE command.
This reply is one of a sequence of replies that are sent to the FTP client when the FTP server must wait for another process to open a named pipe in read mode.
See the information about using z/OS® UNIX System Services named pipes in z/OS Communications Server: IP User's Guide and Commands.
