I've been using ftp to download ptf's.  The steps basically are:
Find out what ptf's you want.
Use iPTF to order them.
Read your email for the ftp is ready email.
Use ftp from your iSeries to get them into the IFS.
CRTDEVOPT DEVD(OPTVRT01) RSRCNAME(*VRT) ONLINE(*YES) TEXT('Virtual optical 
drive for image catalog')
VRYCFG CFGOBJ(OPTVRT01) CFGTYPE(*DEV) STATUS(*ON)
CRTIMGCLG IMGCLG(PTFCATALOG) DIR('/fixes') TEXT('PTF image catalog')
ADDIMGCLGE IMGCLG(PTFCATALOG) FROMFILE('/fixes/TheFtpFileNameHere')
LODIMGCLG IMGCLG(PTFCATALOG) DEV(OPTVRT01)
VFYIMGCLG IMGCLG(PTFCATALOG) TYPE(*PTF) SORT(*YES)
GO PTF
8. Install program temporary fix package


The problem I have is with the 
ADDIMGCLGE IMGCLG(PTFCATALOG) FROMFILE('/fixes/TheFtpFileNameHere')
For example, if I ftp down this file, iptf0021_1.bin, with a size of 
500611072, then run the ADDIMGCLGE, I'll now have two files; the original 
and a iptf0021_1.bin01, both of the same size.

Is there some option on ADDIMGCLGE that says not to copy the data over, 
but just point to it?
