RE: FTP file from AS400 Library to PC

When I do a get myfile.file/mymbr.mbr ,then where on my PC will I get
the transferred file.

I mean how will I locate it.

I run the following command

FTP system name
user id
password
cd /qsys.lib/your-library.lib
get myfile.file/mymbr.mbr

That will go to your current directory. At the DOS prompt, before typing
the ftp command, you will (by default) see your "current directory" as the
prompt. This will be the location of the file.

There are two generic methods to make this more explicit.

1) Start a DOS prompt.
CD to the directory where you want to store the file.
(If it's on a different drive ( like D: ) then first type D:
<ENTER>
then type CD \my\path <ENTER>
Type FTP hostname...
user id
password
cd /qsys.lib/your-library.lib
get myfile.file/mymbr.mbr
quit


2) From your FTP session, type:
ftp hostname
user id
password
cd /qsys.lib/your-library.lib
get myfile.file/mymbr.mbr d:\my\path\myNewFileName.txt
