Re: Cumulative PTF package downloaded

[Scott Klement <midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hmmm... not sure how you're going about this, so maybe I'm talking about 
the wrong thing.  But, I typically order PTFs and then download them to 
the IFS using FTP.

In the directory where the PTFs live on IBM's site, there's a file named 
ftpXXXXXXX.txt  (the XXXXXX changes from order to order).  That file 
will list the .bin files you need to download as well as their sizes in 
bytes.

so you can do the download, then read that file to make sure you got 
everything, and that all of your files are completely downloaded (i.e. 
the byte counts match.)
