Re: [COBOL400-L] mget help in ftp, command syntax

["Jack Welch" <welchj@xxxxxxxx>]

Wilson,

Type a question mark "?" to get a list of ftp commands.
 These are the commands for the local ftp client.
 (there are other commands that can be executed on the
  remote system.   see "remotehelp")
Type a "?" and the command name for short description.
Most commands can be executed using shortened versions of
 the command as long as the command is still unique.
   (ie "pro" or "pr" for "prompt")

Type "Prompt" to toggle prompting on and off.
Type "status" or "stat" to see the status of you session
 including Prompting on/off, verbose on/off.
"Verbose"  turns on/off the echoing of activity.
Use "mget" of "mput" with library/srcf.member
   member can be wildcarded... ie   cm*

Note for AS400 SaveFiles.  Transfer these to the PC or other
system using Binary mode ftp.  This is set using the "binary"
command.  Illustration...
1. Save objects or libary to a savefile on the AS400/iseries.
2. ftp to pc using binary mode.
3. ftp to AS400 using binary mode. (may need to create SAVF first)
4. restore objects or library on the AS400/iseries.

Good luck,
  Jack
