FTP to IFS from PC client

["James W. Kilgore" <eMail@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I searched the archives and tried a google search but came up empty.

The FTP client I use (Seagull) allows me to FTP to the QSYS.LIB file 
system, but I need to FTP a JPEG to the IFS.
The FTP client that comes with Win2k detects an iSeries connection and 
does not recognize the namefmt command.

Anyone know of a FTP client that knows the iSeries AND namefmt?

If it matters, the host is V4R5.

I'm trying a proof of concept project.  I'm open to suggestions, but 
here goes:

The goal is to allow the user to display web pages without running a web 
server.

I was working on a project to display the BOM for a mfg. company in a 
web page.  I wrote the HTML on my local PC and can click on the file and 
the web browser opens and shows the data.  This works fine since the 
pages are on my local PC.

Then I had the bright idea to place the files in a shared directory in 
the IFS and the users should be able to click on the primary HTML file 
and see the BOM.  No web server to administer!

I performed the FTP of the HTML to the IFS by first putting them in a 
QSYS.LIB file then used CPYTOSTMF to place them in the IFS.  Now I want 
to put the company logo there.  I've failed trying to FTP it to a file 
in the QSYS.LIB system.  If it matters, the file is 12k.

The files are BOM.html which is a frameset definition.  The frames are a 
horizontal ban on top with the headings and company logo.  A vertical 
frame on the left side with a clickable table of contents, and the 
remainder is the body where the BOM is displayed.  Sort of what you see 
in a PDF.  The actual BOM is contained in a separate HTML file for each 
product.  When the BOM is edited on the iSeries and when the user exits 
the individual product the program writes out the HTML to the IFS.

This shifts the workload from display time which happens often, to the 
edit time which happens less frequently.

At least that's the path I'm heading down.  If you've been there and got 
nowhere please let me know! :)

TIA,
