Re: FTP an IFS file

[Patrick Townsend <townsend@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jon,

After starting your FTP session with the AS/400 change to the IFS
directory:

   cd /myifsdir

This will cause a namefmt command to be executed and put you into the
directory. Note the leading "/" character before the directory name...

You will probably also have to change to Binary mode before doing the
transfer. just type "binary" and press Enter.
