Hi Fred,

I am able to log into the Windows FTP server just fine but I can not figure out how to get to the IFS on the AS/400 while in a 400 FTP session.

You have to change the name format. Name format 0 is the traditional library/file syntax, and name format 1 is IFS-style.


Since Windows doesn't have alternative naming formats, you want to change it on the LOCAL side (client side) of the connection, only. To do that you can run the following FTP command:

   LOCSITE NAMEFMT 1

If you ever connect to an iSeries instead of a Windows server, you could also change it on BOTH sides at the same time like this:

   NAMEFMT 1

or change only the server with:

   SITE NAMEFMT 1

But, again, in your case you want to use the LOCSITE variant. Good luck!
