I just tried normal, no sweat FTP, from my PC to a system in a land far,
far away.

ftp system
userid
password
ascii
put unixfile.txt lib/file  (or put unixfile.txt
/qsys.lib/lib.lib/file.file)
quit

It worked for a file in unix format (LF only) and one in DOS (CRLF). It
did NOT work for MAC format (CR only). The file was created on the 400,
didn't have to precreate the physical file. But if you already have a
physical file, it's like a CPYF *NOCHK. Just don't have packed fields in
the file.

So easy, really.
