I normally FTP them from IBM directly to the iSeries, but no matter...

First FTP it from your PC to the /tmp IFS directory:
- FTP <iseries.system.name or ip-address>
- cd /tmp
- lcd /mylocalptfdirectory
- bin
- put <binaryfile>.bin
- quit
Then do the following to create a virtual CD drive & image catalog and install the PTFs:
- CRTDEVOPT DEVD(OPTVRT01) RSRCNAME(*VRT)
- VRYCFG CFGOBJ(OPTVRT01) CFGTYPE(*DEV) STATUS(*ON)
- CRTIMGCLG IMGCLG(PTFINSTALL) DIR('/ptfinstall') CRTDIR(*YES)
- ADDIMGCLGE IMGCLG(PTFINSTALL) FROMFILE('/tmp/<binary file>.bin')
- LODIMGCLG IMGCLG(PTFINSTALL) DEV(OPTVRT01)
- VFYIMGCLG IMGCLG(PTFINSTALL) TYPE(*PTF) SORT(*YES)
- INSPTF LICPGM((*ALL)) DEV(OPTVRT01) INSTYP(*DLYALL) (Note: If this command doesn't exist on your system then do GO PTF, option 8.)

I can find the last part pretty easily. I currently have it on my PC.  I
just don't remember how to get it onto my IFS & how to get everything else
hooked together.  I've done it once before & have misplaced my instructions!

Please help!
