RE: FTPing to the IFS root directory

Thanks, it worked.  Now on to the next problem.  I'm actually trying to
login to a foreign server (non iSeries), and GET a file from a directory
on the foreign server and place it into a directory on my IFS root.

With what you showed me below, I can change to my local IFS directory
but I can seem to determine how to GET a file off the foreign server and
transfer it to the IFS.  I'm guessing it's using the GET command, I just
can't seem to figure out how to reference the sub directory on the
foreign server.

1. QUOTE SITE NAMEFMT 1        (sets UNIX-like naming mode)
2. CD /                                   (puts you in the IFS root)
