What does "system distribution directory" mean?
I think you may have misunderstood my question, I am doing this:

     String msg;
     boolean b;
     String[] files;
     int i;

     wms400 = new AS400("wms400", "java", "java");
     ftp400 = new AS400FTP(wms400);
     try {
       ftp400.connect();
       System.out.println("wd: " + ftp400.pwd());

       msg = ftp400.issueCommand("SITE NAMEFMT 1");
       System.out.println("result: " + msg);

       b = ftp400.cd("/QDLS");
       // b = ftp400.cd("/java");
       System.out.println("could cd? " + b);
       System.out.println("wd: " + ftp400.pwd());

       files = ftp400.dir();
       System.out.println(files.length + " files found:");
       for (i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
         System.out.println(files[i]);
       }
     } catch (Exception exc) {
       System.out.println(exc.getMessage());
       System.exit(1);
     }

and getting this output:

wd: 257  "/" is current directory.
result: 250  Now using naming format "1".
could cd? true
wd: 257  "/QDLS" is current directory.
0 files found:

When I uncomment the ftp400.cd("/java") line instead, I get a proper
directory listing of that directory in the IFS:

wd: 257  "/" is current directory.
result: 250  Now using naming format "1".
could cd? true
wd: 257  "/java" is current directory.
7 files found:
