Hmmm! MPUT can also take a list of files, right? So maybe build that list from the list of objects Scott recommended.

Hi Jim,

Assuming this is a scripted FTP, you could take another approach. You could write a program that gets teh list of filenames (maybe via DSPOBJD to an *OUTFILE) and builds separate PUT statements for each file.

Obviously, that's more work... just something to consider.

Thanks for all the replies.

Tried to use NA 1 and /qsys.lib/backup.lib/*01.savf as the input for MPUT.
It fails with the same error message.

I changed a couple of the save file names to S01xxxxxxx and then tried

na 0
lcd backup
bin
mput s01*.savf

That got the results that I am looking for, except now I have to change my
save generation naming.

I guess I will work with the limitation, although I don't like it much! ;^p

I am only guessing, but I believe that the message you get is trying to
tell you
that the * character is invalid for a library/filename. By using NA 1,
you step
over that.

Quoting Jim Essinger <dilbernator@xxxxxxxxx>:

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
