Vern,
I tried the remote naming both ways in FireFTP. First as qsys.lib. As Rob
indicated, this churned for quite awhile, but nothing showed in the remote
panel. I then tried \QIBM~~~ down to CA400. Still nothing in the pane. I
even switched from binary to ascii to auto. No effect. I'll download
Filezilla whenever I can and keep your and Rob's replies handy for
reference.

Jerry - another enthusiastic vote for Filezilla - Rob suggested setting
the default directory to something in the IFS - I believe that is to get
it to use path naming instead of library naming. Library naming is
probably the problem you had with FireFTP.
There is another way to get FileZilla to use path naming - there is a
file that contains the connections you define with the Site Manager at
C:\Documents and Settings\Vernon Hamberg\Application
Data\FileZilla\sitemanager.xml
You don't want to use my name there, right? :)
You put these lines into each <Server> section somewhere -
<PostLoginCommands>
<Command>site namefmt 1</Command>
</PostLoginCommands>
I think Rob's method works fine, I just don't like depending on a "cute"
technique based on some "interesting" behavior on i vs. other platforms.
YMMV

I'll have to look at Filezilla, Richard. I've tried using FireFTP
(Firefox
add-on) but can't seem to get it configured correctly; i.e., nothing shows
up in the remote (System i) list pane.
