Re: FTP between 2 iSeries NAMEFMT

[Charles Wilt <charles.wilt@xxxxxxxxx>]

Check the values of the NAMEFMT and CURDIR parameters of the CHGFTPA
command..

By chance did he not have a home directory "/home/RWPAFF" before and was
defaulting to QGPL?

I wasn't aware that the FTP server would work that way, nor do the docs
seem to indicate it.  But I've heard of similar issues for QSH scripts for
instance.
