Re: ftp ls (or dir) to (disk. the lsoutput or diroutput files are getting stomped on.

Have you tried using something like OVRDBF FILE(LSOUTPUT)
TOFILE(QTEMP/LSOUTPUT)?

I recall using OVRDBF successfully with the DIR (DISK FTP subcommand.

I need a method to list the contents of a directory (windows in this

We only use ftp from the ibm i to network storage. so we are using the

ls

command putting the file to disk. we first do a chgcurlib(KGPLIB) in the
CL, then in the ftp script we do a cd <the path and directory to

scan>,

then a ls (disk.

per the manual:
the (disk will _only_ output to *CURLIB/lsoutput.lsoutput or
*CURLIB/diroutput.diroutput

creating different libraries?
locking that lsoutput file would mean to add code to over a dozen

programs.

is there altogether a different method to do this?
