Any Idea how to solve this problem?.

I am actually doing ftp from one unix box to another box.I want to try this with FTP enterprise stage to see if it can fix my problem.But I don't understand how to give the URI for it.
For example if
My unix server name is testserver
and the path is /home/accounts/
file name is tmp.txt

So for URI is it enough to give ftp://testserver/home/accounts/tmp.txt
Please let me know.
This is not working too.

Are the patches for DataStage Client installed properly on your computer ?. If not try to install them first that will solve your problem.

Are you able to open FTP session from your server on which DataStage is running. Try FTPing a file from UNIX prompt. This is to test if you can even start a FTP session.

Are you convinced by now that the FTP stage can not use environment variables in the way that you want? Every test you've conducted has verified that this is the case. If you want the product changed, you will need to make a business case to the manufacturer.
