Re: Using FileZilla with the AS/400-iSeries-i

Hi Peter

Sure - only thing I see is, the method I use puts you into your current 
library. But you do what you want. If you know where you always want to 
start, that's cool. If you always want to end up in the current library, 
do what I did. If you want to go to some other place in the IFS 
initially, put that in the remote directory, as Rob does.

What is the PERL motto? TMTOWTDI? "There's more than one way to do it."

I guess I'm still reluctant to use a cute trick (initial CD to an IFS 
path name) instead of a specific command. But that's up to y'all.
