A new version of TCP/IP, a part of the OS/390 software bundling, may have caused your TCP/IP client software to give an error message on sequential file downloads. A fix for this may be to click the Options button at the bottom of the WS_FTP32 admin1.nodak.edu window, click the Session Options button and check the Prompt for Destination box and click Save for this session. As a result of this setting you will be prompted for the destination filename when you download a sequential file. If this works, be sure to select the Save as Default button and then Save in the Session Options window to keep it activated each time you use TCP/IP.

If using the line command FTP, in the GET command specify not only the source file name but also the destination file name. GET Sourcefilename Destinationfilename
