Hmm ... now I'm confused. In section 7.3 "Using IBM i5/OS as FTP client", the document you've linked states:

The following sequence of commands accomplishes the
same transfer of all c source files from IBM i5/OS to Linux as in the
case of Example 7-1:
prompt
namefmt 1
lcd /itsodir/src
cd /home/itso/src
mput *.c

The lcd command changes the directory of the local system which, in
this case, is the IBM
i5/OS system. The cd command changes the directory on the remote or
Linux system.
Without the prompt command, before each file is transferred, you are
prompted whether to
transfer that file.

However, this is an ftp session on V5R4:
===> ftp 'ftp.ca.debian.org'
===> USER anonymous
===> PASS <my email address>
===> HELP prompt
Subcommand 'PROMPT' not valid.
===> QUIT

Thanks for the link though, looks like an interesting read.
