   Ok.

   As before, I don't know what "the run log" means to you. 
I'll guess that it's something like
"sys$sysdevice:[tcpip$ftp]tcpip$ftp_run.log".

   Mildly interesting, perhaps, but, as those logical names I
offered earlier might suggest, I'd expect TCPIP to use TCPIP
names, not (old, obsolete) UCX names.  Around here, for
example:

ALP $ dire /owne/prot sys$sysdevice:[000000]*ftp*

Directory SYS$SYSDEVICE:[000000]

TCPIP$FTP.DIR;1      [TCPIP$AUX,TCPIP$FTP]            (RWE,RWE,RE,E)
TCPIP$TFTP.DIR;1     [TCPIP$AUX,TCPIP$TFTP]           (RWE,RWE,RE,E)
TCPIP$TFTP_ROOT.DIR;1
                     [TCPIP$AUX,TCPIP$TFTP]           (RWE,RWE,RE,E)
UCX$FTP.DIR;1        [UCX$AUX,UCX$FTP]                (RWE,RWE,RE,E)

You may not have the TFTP directories, but I'd expect that
TCPIP$FTP.DIR is being used, and UCX$FTP.DIR is not.  If
you're in doubt, then:

      tcpip show service /full ftp

and see whether it's still using *UCX* for anything.

   And, to continue beating what should be a long-dead horse,
stuff like this is why a description like "the run log" can
be less useful than an actual file specification.
