Re: Commands on Remote FTP

[booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Simon, you are quite right. That explains a problem I had a while and 
didn't ever figure out.  Thank you.

Hello Booth,

They aren't equivalent.  QUOTE sends whatever follows to the remote 
server.  The exclamation mark simply passes whatever follows to the 
command processor on the local system.

You can verify this by issuing the following commands on an AS/400:

                 ftp *NONE
                 ! dsplibl
                 quote dsplibl

Regards,
Simon Coulter.
