I am working on FTP for the first time.
I am getting these errors when I am trying to FTP the XML file to diff application.
Can anyone let me know what does the below error mean?

FTP_xxxxx: uri : ftp://22.32.456/fff_ftpdev/xxxxxx-dev/d ... c_user.xml is having following ftp errors

main_program: Creation of a step finished with status = FAILED.
500 'AUTH GSSAPI': command not understood
500 'AUTH KERBEROS_V4': command not understood
KERBEROS_V4 rejected as an authentication type

Are you doing an FTP outside datastage or are you using the datastage FTP stage?

Datastage FTP Stage.

Is the FTP stage only used for the Mainframe jobs?

One quick question FTP stage can be used as both I/P and O/P stages?

I really doubt if you can use FTP stage for XML files. Because FTP stage can not interpret XML files. May be you can use Unix FTP for file transfer, and by using XML stage you can interpret the XML file.

Why do you have to interpret the XML file for FTP?

Just read the XML file through a Sequential File stage (with a single column) and then link this to an FTP stage. This should get you going. Unless you have authorisation issues on the Remote server.

That's not an FTP error. That's DataStage advising that it's giving up.
