_If_ you have TCP/IP set up on your AS/400 and _if_ you have a network
connection to the AS/400, you can use WS_FTP to do file transfers. I hear
that it is one of the clients that understands the AS/400 FTP syntax.
CuteFTP, which I like to use, does not do so yet display the contents of
libraries of directories on the 400. It _does_ do the transfers, though
you're blind while doing it.

You probably need to create the save file first, then transfer the binary
in 'binary' format to the save file. This is to prevent the 400 from
creating a PF from the save file binary. You might try setting the
destination to

        /qsys.lib/libname.lib/filename.file

Good luck
