RE: FTP Address

The ftp:// tells your web browser what protocol to use, so if you keyed
ftp://foolishsupplier.com it would know to connect with the ftp
protocol. When you use a ftp application to connect you don't need the
ftp:// it know it is going to be using ftp. So from a command line you
would enter FTP RMTSYS(foolishsupplier.COM). The same holds true for IP
addresses, if you enter ftp://1.2.3.4 into your web browser then from a
as/400 command line you would enter FTP RMTSYS(1.2.3.4)

Subject: FTP Address


I am attempting to FTP from my iSeries (V5R3).

The supplier that I must FTP to will not divulge IP address.

I have used a resource that tells me ip addresses, but the system keeps
hanging.

I think part of my problem is that I must go to FTP://...... Address at
the IP address but I cannot enter the '//' on the host entry table.

What am I missing?
