Re: Getting List of Files on a Remote Server

Keep in mind that this output is unique to the iSeries -client-.  Thus if 
your iSeries is initiating the ftp session to some other server it will 
work.  And, according to what you read it's
dir (disk
not 
dir (file
I tried it on my machine and it worked.  I could then exit the ftp session 
and type in DSPPFM DIROUTPUT.

An alternative might be to OVRDBF OUTPUT TOFILE(myfile) and read through 
that.

Another alternative might be to use FTPAPI and process that.  I really 
think that's what you're going to want to do.  You'll have to search the 
archives for FTPAPI.  It's not a standard iSeries command.
