Re: FTP question

Thomas, the QSYS filesystem always starts with a leading slash "/"
character, which is the "root" directory. You are still not putting the
slash in the name of your source file.
So anything in the QSYS filesystem should look like:

get /QSYS.LIB/MYLIIB.LIB/MYSRCF.FILE.MYSRCMBR.MBR

Get it?

Javier.

If doing a LCD gives me Local directory now *C:\Users\Thomas
Burrows\Desktop\Subfile_Code*

Then why can I not find that code in the *SUBFILE_CODE* folder off my
desktop?

I have done this before. What am I missing that is not getting the LCD to
look at the "subfile_code" folder?
When I type out *C:\Users\Thomas Burrows\Desktop\Subfile_Code>*
in front of the file *ASLF00DF.TXT* I get an error that FTP cannot
solve *\Thomas

Thomas,
In the context of FTP, you sign-on using an FTP "client" and it talks to
an FTP "server" ...
If you invoked the FTP client (command) on your local PC, the PC is the
client, and the remote host running the FTP server is the "host server."
The FTP "get" command means to get (retrieve) a file from the remote host
server to the local client.
The FTP "put" command means to put (send) a file from the local client to
the remote host server.
So, in this case, I think you want to use a "put" FTP command.
I hope that helps,

The problem is I can use the FTP LCD command and I am told the local
directory - on PC I am assuming - is
"*C:\Users\Thomas Burrows\Desktop\Subfile_Code"*

I
get this. *

*get aslf00df.txt qsys.lib/cobolkid1.lib/qrpglesrc.file/aslf00df.mbr*


*200 PORT subcommand request successful.550 Unable to find file

It is looking in my IFS directory

What could I be doing wrong??
