RE: FTP FROM AS/400 USING URL

Hi Scott,

I have been doing FTPs from AS400 to our network server (N: drive) for PDFs
(using SPLTOOL), CSV files, Tab Delimited (TXT) files, and between these two
AS/400. In addition, we are doing FTPs to our Factor Bank. We used to do
FTP to our 3rd party warehouse. But these are all IP Addresses.

Then I receive a project to do FTP to one of our customers from V5R3 using
the customer's URL and it's not working. Then I tried the URL on V6R1 and it
worked.

Rex

Hi Rex,

Let's talk more about this. :) I've been looking for good reasons to
upgrade to 6.1 for awhile now, and there haven't been many. I've read a
lot of articles about why people should go to 6.1, and have been left
cold for the most part.

Your post was the first I had heard of URLs in FTP. This was
interesting to me, since URLs are a feature that I could use! It's not
a big feature, but added with other things, it'd be be ammunition for my
argument to upgrade.

So I was excited when you told me that there are URLs in FTP in 6.1

I went and looked, however, and can't find any information about this in
the Info Center for 6.1 at all.

Can you tell me where you learned of this support?

Hi Scott,

That's the answer... I have a plan this summer to upgrade the other AS/400
to V6R1.

Thanks....

Rex

hi Rex,

It appears that you've already discovered that the URL feature was added
in 6.1. Given that, I'm wondering what we can help you with?

I am working on two AS/400s. From one AS/400 (V6R1), I can do FTP using
both IP address and URL. But on the other AS/400 (V5R3), I can only do

FTP

using IP Address.

Any help is appreciated.
