RE: FTP issue

Since I have not seen anyone reply as of yet - here is 2 cents...

I am somewhat sketchy on ftp ins and outs, whys and where's myself,
however; this sounds like the file you want from the IFS is a pc
style file, so why would you use the NAMEFT 1?

I would think you could code your script just as you would if you
where doing the get from a PC.

Have you tried it without?

My "feeble understanding" of the NAMEFT 1 is to preserve the file
from one system to another (basically so you don't ftp a compiled object
over and it suddenly becomes a text file of garbage) -
but I could be way off base as I have not really had a need to use
the nameft1 unless I was going from one AS/400 DB to another with out
going in-between IFS or pc's.


Hopefully some other people on the list that have taken the time
to learn more about ftp than myself can bring more light on the subject
for you - as I have just learned enough to get it to work for what the
requirements have been thus far.

Subject: FTP issue


I think I am missing something obvious here but I need some help.  We are
trying to FTP a text file from the IFS of one AS/400 to a file on another
AS/400.  Is this possible?  Every time we try, the data appears as garbage.
We are using binary, NAMEFT 1.  The FTP command is as follows:

get /qdls/upload/export.txt   /qsys.lib/hssdjsch.lib/export.file

Is this a mismatch of file types?

Thanks,
