RE: Commands on Remote FTP -- MIDRANGE-L

Here's from the "Help" command:

QUOTE (Send a Command to an FTP Server) 
 
    To send a subcommand directly to the FTP server on the remote 
    system, use the QUOTE subcommand.  The string is sent verbatim to 
    the FTP server. 
 
 
    QUOte     string 
 
 
    QUOte       You can abbreviate subcommands to the most unique series 
                of characters. 
 
    string      The subcommand and arguments that you want sent to and 
                interpreted by the remote FTP server. 
 
    Notes: 
      1.  The AS/400 FTP server limits the string to 1000 characters. 
 
      2.  For the QUOTE subcommand, whatever you enter is passed as the 
          argument.  For example, if you type: 
 
                 QUOTE  CWD 'SYS1' 
 
          The resulting argument is: 
 
                 CWD 'SYS1' 
 
      Special server commands exist and must be entered using the QUOTE 
    subcommand. 
--------------------------
To see the help commands, type "FTP 'LOOPBACK' on a command line.  Give 
your as/400 login and password so you're logged in, and type "Help" on the 
FTP command line.

I just tried that and AS400 FTP doesn't recognize RCMD as a sub-command 
either. When I took help from within FTP I couldn't see RCMD in the list 
of sub-commands either. Is there something I'm missing?

Use RCMD FTP subcommand (i.e. Remote CoMmanD) 
e.g. 
RCMD CRTSAVF XYZ/ABC 
or whatever. This runs the relevant command on your FTP target box. 
You can do this from a PC FTP client too if you use the form 
quote site rcmd ... 
Extremely useful in my experience (e.g. in ftp batch scripts).

I've seen that AS400 FTP allows a limited number of FTP sub-commands to 
run 
on the remote AS400 (ADDM, DLTF etc). I was wondering if there was a way 
of 
running other AS400 commands on the remote server. 
For instance, I want to transfer a Save file to machine x. Is there some 
way 
of running the RSTOBJ command to unpack he save file, without me having to 
sign on to machine x to issue the command? 
TIA
