We need to place files onto a new server. This new server has long
directory/folder names, and we need to traverse a few levels down. So the
driver is the new need to specify a long path on a PUT command.

I do understand that the interactive FTP command is quite long, and I
understand also that in unix systems the input length is virtually
limitless. But I just need to understand if I use a 256-byte input file,
FTP isn't going to lop of the characters after position x. I'd test this if
I could, but there are limitations to our test case. So looking for a
documented answer.

Couple questions, what is dictating the longest length that you need in
your
ftp input file.
If you look at an FTP screen the area that you could free format type a
command is quite long.
I have one ftp input file defined as 92 and another defined as 198.

With the following two commands:

OVRDBF INPUT QTEMP/MYFTPCMDS

FTP rmtsys



On a V5R3 system using FTP, I have been unable to determine the
maximum
acceptable record length (or maximum utilized record length if
applicable)
for the MYFTPCMDS file above. At present, the record length is 128
in our
utility command and we know we need to extend this, but we need to
understand the limits. A search of archive.midrange.com and a search
of
publib.boulder.ibm.com didn't yield this information, or I missed it.



Similarly, can this be overridden to an IFS file?



I'd love to switch to Scott's solution, but unfortunately in the
current
environment it'd be tough to get that past the auditors. (It's a
familiarity / comfort level / lack-of-education / red-headed-
stepchild
issue.)
