Re: ftp

[CHRISTINA GONZALEZ <cgonzalez@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The syntax that I've always used is:

GET [library name]/[filename].[member name]

eg:    GET BOOTH/QDDSSRC.ARFILE

If you are transferring to another system, say a PC, then you would complete the
sentence with the pathname in the syntax of the target system.  For instance, to
transfer a file to your PC from the AS400 you would say:

GET [library name]/[filename].[member name] [pathname on PC in DOS syntax].

This has always worked for me.  I hope it helps.
