Re: FTPing to the IFS root directory

If the AS400 is the client you do NOT want to use
QUOTE SITE NAMEFMT 1
you want to use
SITE NAMEFMT 1
The QUOTE sends the command to the remote server.

As a side note if you are using AS400's for client and server
NAMEFMT 1  or 0 (0 gets you back to the AS400 format)
changes both AS400's to that format

you could also use the directory in the get command.

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.
