Make downloading/uploading file members easier with FTP

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxx>]

Just found a way to simplify (IMO) downloading file members. It depends on
using NAMEFMT 1, which is IFS path naming. When you use this, physical
files are handled like folders or directories. Once you change directory to
the "file", you just use the member name in the get or put statement.

 From your client (MS-DOS prompt, whatever)

quote site namefmt 1
cd /qsys.lib/yourlib.lib/yourfile.file
get yourmbr.mbr yourmbr.ext

If yourfile.file is a source file, you don't need to specify ascii for
transfer type - it automatically converts to ascii.
