FTP is putting files in a directory and I want to know the name
so I can read via xml-into.

Actually, FTP has its own flat file listing capability too

typically, the steps are . . . .

CHGCURLIB mylib

FTP 127.0.0.1

ls <directory> (DISK

(DISK is a parm for the LS command in FTP

"(DISK stores the file name list LS subcommand into a file named
*CURLIB/LSOUTPUT.LSOUTPUT, instead of showing the results on the
display. Each time you specify the (DISK parameter with the same
current library, the contents of the LSOUTPUT.LSOUTPUT file are
changed."

I was thinking about the possibility, Thanks.

The LS [and DIR which has its own (DISK option and output to *CURLIB/DIROUTPUT.DIROUTPUT] is a client feature; listing the contents of the remote path\directory. So if the /putting files/ refers to the the IBM i as server vs client, then those FTP subcommands are not directly helpful [AFaIK].
