RE: Using Apache VFS to FTP to the AS/400 IFS

["Blalock, Bill" <Bill.Blalock@xxxxxxxx>]

Sarah:

It looks like OS400 is at least partially supported.

org.apache.commons.net.ftp.parser.DefaultFTPFileEntryParserFactory will
use an OS400 specific parser if the FTPClientConfiguration object is set
to do so.

I haven't figured this out yet, I know this isn't a solution. Sometimes
I just need a hint or a new direction to look.

Also the OS400FTPEntryParser has been worked on recently (May 2008 by
sebb) so you may get some support.

We might as well take this off the list.  You can e-mail me at

Bill- Were you able to use my simple Java class to try out an FTP
upload with Apache VFS?
