QUESTION POSED ON: 25 February 2005
We regularly FTP files to various tables on our iSeries. A file approximately 1.5 MB timed out this morning and continues to time out every time we try and FTP the file. I can only FTP files smaller than 40 KB. Do you have any idea what might be going on?

My initial thought is that a job has hung up. You would need to end the job that timed out and retry the FTP.
