Forgive me if I missed this, but I didn't see the actual answer to the
original question in this thread.  If you want to FTP from a library to the
IFS you need to specify name format 1(NA 1) in the FTP.

After signing on to the FTP sesion try:

na 1
quote site trim 0
put /qsys.lib/yourlib.lib/yourfile.file /IFSdirectory/yourfile

        or

get /qsys.lib/yourlib.lib/yourfile.file /IFSdirectory/yourfile

Subject: AS/400 app FTPs file to IFS???

I need to copy an AS/400 file to the IFS with the requirement that the
resulting file must be fixed length. (The file on the AS/400 has only
alpha and signed numeric fields.) The AS/400 is at v4r5.

I struggled with CPYTOSTMF with no success. I found a reference to
using "quote site trim 0" in FTP and I was able to use FTP on my
Windoze box to get the desired results with the file being placed on my
PC.

But I need for an AS/400 app to do this work and I need the file to be
placed on the IFS. I know how to FTP between different AS/400s, but
I've never had the occasion to FTP a file from the AS/400 QSYS.LIB to
an IFS location.

Pointers to TFM are welcome.

TIA, Dan
