Re: FTP manual and Regarding stream file on IFS

You need to learn quite a bit about the file systems on IBM i. Which name
format are you using? (0 or 1 for system naming or Integrated File system
naming)
See: Using the FTP Subcommand: NAMEFMT (ibm.com)
<https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/using-ftp-subcommand-namefmt>

That might help you understand the problem.

Hi,

I just referred this document for FTP :-
https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/ftp-example-transfer-ascii-text-file

but from my local desktop to pub400.com when trying to ftp a text file
then
getting this error when i do cd command :-
"
550-Specified directory does not exist or cannot be accessed.
550 Working directory not changed. "


Also with respect to IFS path's query , i want to know if there is a file
with .txt type in a particular path then how can we copy it in to a source
member (blank source member whose type is RPGLE) I was able to transfer
that .txt file using filezilla on IFS path but from there unable to copy it
in to a source member of a particular source physical file and library, so
how to do so?


Thanks.

Hi Tim


Have you looked at the IBM i Knowledge Center site yet - there are
separate ones for each release. There is a search that could get you to

FTP

- there is not a separate manual, if I remember right, but there are

TCP/IP

applications together in a section of the site - in many sections there

are

links to PDF manuals.


That's how many of us find much of what we say in these emails. SFTP is
probably in separate documentation and might be the general docs for it

on

any platform

Hate to say it, but I think you've thrown together a mess of topics here

-

FTP vs SFTP vs CPYFRMSTMF vs source members - oy! I'm not good enough to
address all of that, man!


But look up SFTP in Google and you'll find it is different from FTP, as I
recall.

Hi,

Could someone please share IBM's standard manual to FTP from local

desktop

to IBM i and in reverse order and SFTP as well ?( which has sequential
steps to do so)

I have a stream file on IFS path but when trying to use CPYFRMSTMF

command

to copy the text file in to ibm i's source member then getting various
errors:-

So how to correctly use this command to copy stream file's (text member)

to

respective source file and library's source member?


Thanks
