500: Command failed - command too long

Explanation

The FTP server attempted to receive a command from the client connection, but the command received was larger than the FTP server command buffer. The maximum allowed command length is 1099 bytes, including control characters.

System action

The command is rejected. Control returns to the client connection for further command processing.

User response

If possible, break the command into multiple, smaller, commands (for example, a SITE command with multiple parameters can be broken into several SITE commands with fewer parameters). If it is not possible to break the command into smaller pieces, contact the IBM® $ Software Support Center with requirements for a larger command buffer.

System programmer response

None.
