Hi, I'm using FTP scripts to transfer PDF files from AS/400 system to Remote System. I'm creating a new directory in remote system using MKDIR command and then doing the data transfer as below.  
LCD  /LOCAL/PDF
MKDIR  /REMOTE/PDF1
CD /REMOTE/PDF1
PUT  FILE1.PDF  FILE1.PDF
But the Remote System Users are not able to open /REMOTE/PDF1 folder due to authority issues. How to avoid this? Thanks.

Thanks. We'll let you know when a new response is added.

Unless this is a one time upload the easiest way is have someone with authority on the remote system create directory with the proper authority for their users. Then you just need to change the script to deposit your FTP uploads to it. IF this is a one time upload then have the security officer on the remote system change the authority on the folder so the users have access.

    You're going to have to talk to those in charge of the remote system.

    The remote system is also as AS/400 System. Is there any possibility of giving access to all the users while creating the directory in the remote system?

    Giving authority to everyone isn't really advised. You'd be best off having the necessary authorities granted to the profile the FTP logs in to the remote system with.

    I don't have access to a system to test this out right now, but you might be able to run remote commands to change the object's and directory's authorities.

    If you have authority to the RUNRMTCMD, try that. It's the command BigKat mentioned. Depending on the profile you are using to connect it might work for you. If not see if there is another profile available.
