When at the prompt: "ftp>" type "help".  This will give you a list of
commands you can use.  Typing "? open" displays a brief description of the
command.  This is from win95 dos command prompt.  For better help, use FTP
from an AS400 command line.  I generally do not run the ftp server on the
as400, but use NT for FTP server, (or WIN95).  I then retrieve the file from
the PC to the AS400 using the AS400s FTP client.

Have fun,

Hello,
        What is the command for transfering a file from a DOS session? I've
transfered files using the client-access method but in this case they want
to follow this process:
        1.      Download the above file to your Pc. 
        2.      Create a SAVF on the AS/400 named SPANISHCH 
        3.      Connect using FTP from a dos session to your as400 
        4.      Change directory(library) to where the SAVF has been
created. 
        5.      Set transfer mode to binary in the FTP session by typing
BINARY 
        6.      transfer by using command PUT spanishch 
        7.      On the AS/400 RSTLIB SAVLIB(CIMSPANISH) DEV(*SAVF)
SAVF(yourlibrary/SPANISHCH) 
        8.      CIMSPANISH contains the program STATREMADV, put on libl and
run. 

The SPANISHCH is the name of the file. My question is step 3. I could go to
DOS screen and type FTP and which changes the DOS directory to FTP> Then
what?
Thanks in advance,
Art
