Re: ftp quote command not working

[michaelr_41@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

The exclamation mark ("!") on the iSeries FTP client is the equivalent of
the SYSCmd command. On most other clients it's the equivalient of a shell
command. For instance, from Windows, a ! will send you to a command shell
(exit to return to FTP), and !cmd will execute the command, like !dir.
