Re: FTP using MPUT to unix does not allow wild card

Hi Jim
I thought wild cards are for the end of a file name
for example
AXS*
will find
AXS001
AXSBDR12
AXS9
etc

I don't think that you can specify the wild card at the front (all though I
fully expect to be proven wrong)

I am trying to put a group of save files on a server, and it will not

allow

me to us mput and specify *01.savf as the generic name.

When I connect from the i5/os FTP it allows me to log in, then I get the
following message;

UNIX Type: L8

When I use PUT and the entire file name, the file gets sent. When I use

the

MPUT *01.savf command I get the following error;

Character (*) is not allowed in object name.

Can I not use a wild card with MPUT to this type of file system? Is

there

another wild card to use that means the same thing? I don't want to send
all the save files to the server, just the ones that are named ending in

01

(I have 01, 02 through 10 as generations of saves).

I searched the archives and thought that I could use the * for a wild

card.

Any thoughts?

Jim
