Re: FTP changes Save file to Physical File

It always works like that. FTP transfer the bytes of the file but does
not transfer it's attribute. The workaroud is to create the save file on
the target machine, then FTP will replace it's content without changing
it's attribute.

Hi All!

I am sending a save file from one iSeries to another via FTP.  On the
receiving
end, the save file attribute becomes PF instead of SAVF!

Why does this happen?  I do the standard stuff:

FTP remotename
LCD local_library
CD  remote_library
BINARY
GET savf savf (REPLACE
QUIT

I've even tried using my PC as an intermediary, sending the save file
to the
PC, then to the other iSeries with the same results.

Has this happened to anyone before?  How did you get around it?

It shouldn't matter, but the save file contains a source file with
multiple
members...

TIA,

William
