ftp_get from an IBM Mainframe z/vm system ?

Hi, i got a realy special problem with a little php work. i need some files from a z/vm ftp server over an php script. z/vm is a virtualization operating system for the ibm mainframe. my php script runs on a linux os, mountet on a z/vm guest. to test if an ftp transfer is possible i've maked some test with a normal ftp console client and it may be important for helping me if you know the results. Here ist the example for a ftp connection to the z/vm ftp . 230 LINUXCL logged in; working directory = LINUXCL 191 Remote system type is z/VM. ok, we got connected. now it comes the problem, in my opinion. ftp> ls 500 Unknown command, 'EPSV' 227 Data transfer will passively listen to 172,16,145,65,4,48 125 List started OK PROFILE EXEC V 42 12 1 2006-02-20 11:19:06 WORK TEST EXEC V 38 5 1 2006-02-06 14:36:40 WORK 250 List completed successfully. as you can see, the files in z/vm are not named by the normal way. z/vm naming need 2 qualifier (actually 3 but thats not important now) so file called textdata.txt will be written in z/vm like this TEXTDATA TXT put with my console ftp client i got no problems getting that file ftp> get "TEST EXEC" local: TEST EXEC remote: TEST EXEC 227 Data transfer will passively listen to 172,16,145,65,4,49 125 Sending file 'TEST.EXEC' 100% |*************************************| 88 99.23 KB/s 00:00 ETA 250 Transfer completed successfully. 88 bytes received in 00:00 (48.85 KB/s) No problems, so i createt an php script.... $conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server); $login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, "$ftp_user_name", "$ftp_user_pass"); $download = ftp_get($conn_id, "$locale", "TEST EXEC", FTP_ASCII); ftp_quit($conn_id); connection workd, but the download did not. i got this error. Warning: ftp_get(): Error opening in phpfile on line 174 i think the filenaming makes the problem. chaning "TEST EXEC" to "TEST.EXEC" works at the ftp console client, but for the php way neither. i wrote in several forums and you guys are my last hope =) hope you can help me :) thx and greetings from germany nils reimann
