I'm confused, Patrik - do you have a script on the IBM i, is that what "scripted client" means?

Is the remote server an IBM i? Non-IBM i servers don't understand of use NAMEFMT, probably just ignore it.

If you have a script on the IBM, just use the namefmt 1 command - since v4r5, this will try to set namefmt on the server, as well. Before v4r5 you use the site namefmt 1 command to set it on the server - no harm if the server is not an ibm i or as/400.

I assume by "script" that you override stdin to a file member that has the commands.

Hello,

after a while of fruitless research, I opt to ask the community: How can I set the IBM i FTP *Client* NAMEFMT to 1 without the scripted client trying to forward this setting to the remote server?

Depending on the remote server, I get a 550 Permission denied back, or an "unknown SITE command". Yes, it does no harm but I don't want to spam someones logs with "possible hacker attack" or the like.

Thanks!
