RE: ftp to an initial ifs directory

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

Gary,

Your suggestion shows a lot of promise.  I'll look into that.  When I went 
to the website:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/iseries/v5r2/ic2924/info/rzaiq/rzaiql0200.htm
I saw that I can control the namefmt with the "application specific data".

Format of application-specific information parameter
When the application identifier indicates the FTP server program, the 
application-specific information parameter has these fields: 


Offset Dec  Offset Hex  Type          Field 
 0           0          BINARY(4)  Initial name format 
 4           4          BINARY(4)  Initial current working directory 
 8           8          BINARY(4)  Initial file listing format 
12           C          BINARY(4)  Control connection security mechanism 
16          10          BINARY(4)  Data connection encryption option 
20          14          BINARY(2)  Control connection ciphersuite 
22          16          BINARY(2)  Data connection cyphersuite 

Field Descriptions

Initial name format 
Identifies the initial setting of the file name format for this session. 
When the exit program is called, the value of this field is set to 
correspond to the FTP server configuration file value specified by the 
NAMEFMT parameter. Valid values are:

0 
Use the LIBRARY/FILE.MEMBER name format. This setting corresponds to the 
NAMEFMT(*LIB) option of the CHGFTPA command and is equivalent to 
specifying the SITE NAMEFMT 0 subcommand to the FTP server.

1 
Use the path name format. This setting corresponds to the NAMEFMT(*PATH) 
option of the CHGFTPA command and is equivalent to specifying the SITE 
NAMEFMT 1 subcommand to the FTP server.
Initial current working directory 
Identifies the initial setting of the FTP server current working 
directory, which is the default directory that is used for file and list 
operations. When the exit program is called, the value of this field is 
set to correspond to the FTP server configuration values specified by the 
CURDIR. Valid values are:

0 
Use the current library as the initial FTP server current working 
directory. This setting corresponds to the CURDIR(*CURLIB) option of the 
CHGFTPA command.

1 
Use the home directory as the initial FTP server current working 
directory. This setting corresponds to the CURDIR(*HOMEDIR) option of the 
CHGFTPA command.

Note: If you set this field to 1, you must also set the initial name 
format field to 1. 

Initial file list format 
Identifies the initial setting of the file list format for this session. 
When the exit program is called, the value of this field is set to 
correspond to the FTP server configuration value that you specify with the 
LISTFMT parameter. Valid values are:

0 
Use iSeries server file list format. This setting corresponds to the 
LISTFMT(*DFT) option of the CHGFTPA command and is equivalent to 
specifying the SITE LISTFMT 0 subcommand to the FTP Server.

1 
Use the UNIX file list format. This setting corresponds to the 
LISTFMT(*UNIX) option of the CHGFTPA command and is equivalent to 
specifying the SITE LISTFMT 1 subcommand to the FTP server.

Rob,

An exit program on the FTP signon server may be utilized to set the
current directory.  Look at format TCPL0200 at IBM's info center.

Subject: ftp to an initial ifs directory


I was searching through the archives on how to have someone come up into
a 
default or initial ifs directory when using ftp instead of into their 
default library.  Some not-too-hopeful discussions were going on here:
http://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l/199911/msg00686.html

I was wondering if anyone had any updates?

I am running V5R2.
