RE: Unable to Save/delete an IFS document

You can't delete it because of the "/"s in the file name itself... We had to
create a java program to do this. And run in qshell..

Try this, even from the local i5 command line
ftp myi5
userid

?
Cursor to ftp subcommands.  Press enter. See DELete?

Help                       DELETE Subcommand - Help 
 
DELETE (Delete a File on a Remote System) 
 
    Use the DELETE subcommand to delete a member of a database file, a 
    QDLS document, or file on a remote system.  The DELETE subcommand 
    format is as follows: 
 
 
    DELete     remotefile 
 
 
    DELete      You can abbreviate subcommands to the most unique series
                of characters. 
 
    remotefile  The file to be deleted on the remote system. 
 
    The remote system may prompt you for authorization to delete a file.
    Use the   ACCT subcommand to respond to that request.
