RE: FTP to IFS from PC client -- MIDRANGE-L

James, I did not see your question answered at all.  I used WSFTP from
IPSwitch with my 400s all the time.  A simple cd / should change the namefmt
to 1 and then allow you to access the IFS.

Subject: FTP to IFS from PC client

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,
J. Kilgore
