Re: FTP an IFS file

["Guy Murphy"<gmurphy@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

     If you ftp'ed to the 400 from your PC type the command:
     
     quote site namefmt 1
     
     This will switch you to the IFS naming format.  You then can change 
     directories to whatever directory you've placed your IFS file.  For 
     example, if you placed the file in the etc directory type: cd /etc at 
     your command line.  If your IFS file is already in ASCII format, be 
     sure you enter the binary or image ftp subcommand before downloading.

Can anyone save me a few hours of digging through manuals.
     
I know how to FTP a regular AS/400 file from one system to another, but what 
magic incantation do I need to FTP a file in the IFS to another machine?  I 
don't have Client Access available to me and I need to get a file from the IFS 
on to my PC.
