Richard -
As others mentioned, to retain the characteristics of the multi-format file you'll need to
save it to a save file, then use FTP to PUT the save file to the target system, followed
by restoring the file from the save file into a library on the target system.
However you don't need to create an empty save file on the target system - System i FTP
can automatically create the save file on the PUT command if you are using IFS naming by
using the following command syntax (the System i FTP server recognizes the .savf extension
as a save file...)
Binary
Namefmt 1
PUT /qsys.lib/fromlib.lib/fromsavf.savf /qsys.lib/tolib.lib/tosavf.savf
