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.)

There are two text files included in the download. They include a list of the PTFs in the package and instructions to follow, but neither includes a list of the .bin files that were downloaded.
We received nine "CUMC....bin" files and four "CUMS...bin" files -- but I would be more comfortable verifying this against a list of what should be there.

Part of the download should have included such a list, as well as instructions on installing the PTF's (Cume). I forget the names, but they are simple txt files.

Subject: Cumulative PTF package downloaded

For the first time I have received a cumulative PTF package downloaded directly to the IFS. Is there a reference where I can check the files received against a list of what should be there so I know that nothing is missing?
