Re: Iseries native file upload using SFTP PUT Command

HI Vern

Thanks for the reply.
Sorry, it looks like I pasted the wrong command. This command is working
fine in FTP but same failed in SFTP.

put /QSYS.lib/EVENTS.lib/ASGTRESP.file/M000028373.mbr
/QSYS.LIB/EVENTS.LIB/RA02600001.FILE/RA02600001.MBR

Note: This RA02600001 is not available yet on the remote server. In FTP,
RA02600001 this file is automatically created and member RA02600001
is automatically added with a single FTP PUT command.

Thanks
Manoj

Hi Manoj

I'm actually surprised that this works in regular FTP - you are
specifiying 2 levels of members, and there is only 1 - a member is not a
directory, so the error is reporting correctly. To say it another way,
there are no members inside members, members are inside files.

I suggest removing /*.MBR from both.

Hi

We have an existing process that will use FTP script to upload the

iSeries

physical file in QSYS.LIB/XXXX.LIB to the remote server. Now we are
planning to change the existing process to use SFTP.

We are using QOpensys and using the PUT command to upload the physical
file. But my concern is, the following command fails when the physical

file

not already available on the remote server when i was using SFTP. The

same

command works fine when i run this on FTP protocol.

put /QSYS.lib/EVENTS.lib/ASGTRESP.file/M000028373.mbr/*.MBR
/QSYS.LIB/EVENTS.LIB/RA02600001.FILE/RA02600001.MBR/*.MBR

Error: open("/QSYS.LIB/EVENTS.LIB/RA02600001.FILE/RA02600001.MBR"): No
such file or directory".

There is no issue with the above command when the destination file is
already available at the remote location.


how can i use PUT command, so that it can create the file automatically
when it's not already at remote location?

why is the same command creating the file successfully at the remote
location if i use FTP instead of SFTP? why its fail in SFTP?

Please help me.

Regards
Manoj
