What are commands needed to establish a Point-to-Point FTP connection?
Do you mean a point-to-point TCP/IP connection? in other words, SLIP or PPP? Or do you mean something like PPTP? Or PPoE?
FTP is just a program that runs over TCP/IP. It doesn't matter whether that TCP connection was established via SLIP/PPP, or whether it uses any of the hundreds of other ways of establishing a TCP/IP connection. (Etherhet, Token Ring, FDDI, ISDN, etc, etc, etc.) FTP doesn't know or care which underlying physical media is used to transport the TCP/IP packets. It just uses TCP/IP. Let the operating system worry about how to transport the packets!
This is true of all TCP/IP software, of which FTP is only one. Others (TELNET, E-MAIL, WEB, etc, etc) will also work over the same PTP connection.
I am assuming that a line description. controller, and device description are needed and must be manually created before ADDTCPPTP can be used. The iSeries already has functioning access to the internet.
I'm lost. If you already have internet access, why do you need a point-to-point connection?
Not sure where to look for the answers and appreciate all assistance.
A quick Google search found this: http://tinyurl.com/35bun8It has lots of links to information about configuring and troublehsooting SLIP and PPP. Of course, I'm not exactly sure if that's what you're looking for...
