Re: FTP server attributes...

[Gerald Magnuson <gmagqcy.midrange@xxxxxxxxx>]

I did a DUPTAP to a virtual tape into a image catalog....  (library of
journals and receivers).....
I then did FTP's of that directory (1.1TB)  from box A to box B...  the
files on A were 37,  they wound up being 819 on Box B per settings in
CHGTCPA.
I wound up doing CPY to change the CCSID back to 37....

I was thinking that if source is 37....  keep it 37...
it appears that IBM is thinking...   if you are pushing QSYS.LIB stuff...
keep the CCSID...   If you are pushing to root,and other file systems set
CCSID to default ASCII.
