125 : Appending to named pipe pathname

Explanation

The FTP server received an APPE (append) or STOR (store) file transfer command while UNIXFILETYPE=FIFO was configured. The FTP server is appending the incoming data to the specified named pipe.

Storing into a named pipe never overwrites the contents of the named pipe; it always appends the data to the existing contents. When the named pipe specified by the pathname value is empty, the effect of appending is the same as storing.

See the UNIXFILETYPE (FTP client and server) statement in z/OS Communications Server: IP Configuration Reference for more information about the UNIXFILETYPE configuration option.

Example

Command:                                                              
site unixfiletype=fifo 
>>> SITE unixfiletype=fifo 
200 SITE command was accepted  
Command:                   
put /etc/hosts /tmp/etc.hosts.fifo   
>>> PORT 9,2,1,3,4,33      
200 Port request OK. 
>>> STOR /tmp/etc.hosts.fifo 
125 Appending to named pipe /tmp/etc.hosts.fifo 
250 Transfer completed successfully. 
41 bytes transferred in 0.005 seconds.  Transfer rate 8.20 Kbytes/sec.
Command:    

System action

FTP appends data to the named pipe.

User response

If you intended to transfer data into a named pipe, no further action is needed.

If you intended to transfer data into a regular z/OS® UNIX file, use the SIte subcommand to change the UNIXFILETYPE configured value at the FTP server, and transfer the file again. See the information about the SIte subcommand in z/OS Communications Server: IP User's Guide and Commands .

System programmer response

None.

Problem determination

Not applicable.
