    I am new to PS2200, and I have tried Steve Rikards instruction:
    "Here are the steps to allow telnet access to ps2200 in ROS."

    I started telnet on Windows 10, and from on the ROS consol I entered:

    cs a
    st cpcomm,,,0/security
    0-ENTER C.L. FOR : .CPCOMM
    st silas,,,0/security
    1-ENTER C.L. FOR : .SILAS
    putty;host 127.0.0.3;select telcon (port 23)
    KEY ERROR
    Command:

    I would like to be able to have FTP access to ps2200 on port 21 as well.

    WS_FTP Professional worked well with ClearPath MCP Express (host type Unisys A-series) and
    it has setting for host type OS2200.

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Thank you for your reply!
    I am new to ClearPath OS 2200 and - No I did not answer the outstanding messages.
    I searched ClearPath OS 2200 Release 18.0 Product Documentation Library
    for rCyENTER C.L. FOR :rCO and found it in three places.
    I learned that it was a rCyread-and-reply messagerCO
    The System Console Message reference Manual had:
    The responses to this solicitation are the clearance level, blanks, or a null. A null
    response or blanks receives the minimum clearance level for the user-id.
    And FLIT Programming Reference Manual, Volume 2: System Mode had an example:
    ST SYS$*RUN$.CONSOL,,,0/SECURITY
    0-ENTER C.L. FOR : SYS$*RUN$.CONSOL
    0 0
    So I copied the answer and now the telnet session is established, but
    I cannot see what I am typingrCa and I do not know the PS2200
    command to exit Telnet.
    But why reply with two zeros not just one?
    (Clearance levels can range from 0 to 63, with 63 being the most restrictive.) Here all the events:

    The first zero indicates to which read and reply message you are
    responding. If you go back to your first example, the read and reply
    message for Silas started with "1". Since you didn't reply to the first
    one (from CONSOL), the second one incremented the reply number. This
    allows you to have multiple messages outstanding, either from the same
    or different applications, and for the OS to know to which message your
    reply is intended. That is, you could have replied to the message about
    Silas by starting your reply with a 1 instead of 0. In the second
    example, since you replied to the message from CONSOL, before you
    started Silas, the message from SILAS could start at zero again. The
    second zero is the actual reply, in this case the clearance level of 0.

    snip

    Thanks once again!

    You're welcome. And Welcome to the 2200 community!
