RE: FTP server side logging?

If you submit a DCR the odds increase that 'IBM offers...'.  However they 
might want to know why it's important to know the verbatim.

RE: FTP server side logging?






Vern,

My understanding was the AS/400 interprets the client request at the 
server.
So somewhere in the AS/400, the client's "as typed request" is processed.
The reason I say that is the Windows client doesn't know that
"/qsys.lib/loyd.lib/me.file" is valid syntax. It may not be stored on the
AS/400, but it translates a "put" into the operation ID 7 and the "what to
put" into the operational information.

I will likely follow Rob's logging examples until hopefully IBM offers a
mechanism to retrieve the verbatim input.

Thanks,
Loyd

I don't think you will ever get the exact string as entered, say, in a 
Windows client, because what is entered in the client is never passed as 
is 
- it is translated into server side requests. In this case, it appears 
that 
your "put" from the viewpoint of the client is converted to a "get" (STOR, 

probably) from the viewpoint of the server. And it has converted the 
NAMEFMT 0 (library/object) syntax of "loyd/me" to the NAMEFMT 1 (path 
naming) syntax.

So you need to do some parsing to get what you want, and it still may not 
get you everything. E.g., I don't know enough of the RFC for FTP to know 
how the server knows what is the object on the client - unless it doesn't, 

and it only knows to read from a socket. That makes sense - it only needs 
to know where on its machine to put the data.
