In FTP CL,
STRTCPFTP RMTSYS(*INTNETADR) INTNETADR('##.###.##.##') is used by AS/400 to
make an FTP connection to the address shown in parameter *INTNETADR
Terminology:
This is an IP address (in dotted format):
192.168.0.1
This is a domain name:
ftp.example.com
This is a URL:
ftp://user:password@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/pub/examples/test1.txt
The i5/OS FTP client never accepts URLs. It either accepts hostnames or
IP addresses. For example:
STRTCPFTP RMTSYS('ftp.example.com')
or
STRTCPFTP RMTSYS('192.168.0.1')
As far as I can tell, there's absolutely no reason to ever use the
*INTNETADR keyword or the INTNETADR parameter to the STRTCPFTP (or "FTP"
which is a shortcut name) command. As I understand it, *INTNETADR
basically means "never try to use this as a host name, it's always an IP
address". Which serves no value that I can fathom. (I suppose if you
wanted to restrict your user to never being able to supply a host name
-- but I just can't see why you'd do that.)
Anyway, don't use *INTNETADR. Use the RMTSYS parameter for your IP
address or host name.
FWIW, FTPAPI does have support for URLs if you really do need to use
URLs and weren't just using the wrong term.
