This article was previously published under Q172611 SYMPTOMS
When you use the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) client with the -v
command-line option, the remote server responses may display even though
they are supposed to be suppressed.
CAUSE
When using redirected input to the FTP command line, verbose mode has a
default setting of OFF. In this scenario, the -v parameter toggles verbose
mode to a setting of ON.
RESOLUTION
The only known workaround for this issue is to use separate commands for
your processes. For example, when you need to execute the FTP client with
redirected input, then do not use the -v parameter. When you need to
execute the FTP client without the redirected input, then use the -v
parameter to suppress the remote server responses.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 4.0. We
are researching this problem and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
