        At V4R5 use CHGFTPA AUTOSTART(*YES) NAMEFMT(*PATH) CURDIR(*HOMEDIR).
You can also set the list format to a Unix format (LISTFMT(*UNIX)) if you
wish.  After the change stop and restart the ftp servers.

Subject: initial directory in FTP


Hello all,

When I ftp from an AS/400 to another, once logged in, the default directory
is QGPL and the file format is the library format (0).
 I then have to type the NA 1 comand to switch to the IFS format and issu a
CD command to position myself in the right directory.

I am looking for a way to have this done automatically. There is a home
directory value in the user profile but it does not seems to work.

I need this because external users will be restricted to some directory. I
have already put in place FTP exit program to deny any operation in other
diretory. All that is missing is to have them located in the right directory
once logged in.

If you how to do that or where to look for this, I would apreceate.
