Re: Backup pc files to 400 folder

In QDLS the file name limit IS 8 characters.
In the rest of the IFS it isn't.  Better to keep it somewhere other than
QDLS unless you have a real need for it to be there.

No, we do not have a server, just peer to peer connections.
 I type ftp on as400 command line
 I enter my password and userid
 I tried namefmt 1
 cd /qdls
 250 "/QDLS" is current directory.
 Then enter below
 get \\pc02\mydocu~1\tdiagts.prn /karl
 227 Entering Passive Mode (10,1,0,100,4,7).
 501 File name too long; limit is 8 characters: \\pc02\mydocu~1\tdiagts
