Hi,

Thanks for all these inputs regarding this FTP issue.

ftp> put callstack.txt sr1.file/callstack.mbr
200 PORT subcommand request successful.
550 Library SR1.FILE not found.

You are in NAMEFMT 0.
PUT in NAMEFMT 0 expects to see LIBRARY/FILE(MEMBER)
You have provided SR1.FILE as the library - which does not exist, so 530.

ftp> put callstack.txt k211.lib/sr1.file/callstack.mbr
200 PORT subcommand request successful.
501 Specified object name too long, limit is 10 characters:
file/callstack.mbr.

You are trying to use NAMEFMT 1 names in mode NAMEFMT 0.

NAMEFMT 0 names are 10 characters, max.
NAMEFMT 0 is the green screen command line, so commands like CRTLIB, CRTPF, ADDPFM - all allow 10 character max names.

If you want to use NAMEFMT 1 names, that is, an IFS-style path, it would be /k211.lib/sr1.file/callstack.mbr -- note the leading slash!! It means absolute reference. Leaving that off means 'use this path which is relative to - inside of - the current directory.

If you want to use NAMEFMT 0 names, use k211/sr1(callstack)

Be sure you are in the mode you want before trying the PUT. So...specify NAMEFMT 0 for 10 char 'native' style names, or NAMEFMT 1 for IFS-style path names. After that, issue the PUT.
