RE: FTP GET into IFS

Thanks Scott, the "point of view" info helps:
I had not understood the value of QUOTE, SITE and LOCSITE

LOCSITE NAMEFMT 1 would change it for the IBM i client.
SITE NAMeFMT 1 would change it for a server NAMEFMT 1 (without SITE or LOCSITE) changes it on both ends.

So it really depends on what you're doing. If you're using the IBM i client, and getting from a Windows/Unix FTP server, you'd want to use LOCSITE. (Otherwise, the server will return an error, since it doesn't understand "namefmt"... tho, you could also just ignore the error.)

If transferring from the IFS of one IBM i to another IBM i, you'd want to simply use NAMEFMT so it changes both servers to IFS.

If getting from the IFS on an IBM i server to the library system of an IBM i server, you'd want SITE, so it only changes the namefmt on the server, not the client.

If putting from Windows or Unix, you'd need to use SITE NAMEFMT 1 (or QUOTE SITE NAMEFMT 1 for some FTP clients that don't understand SITE) since the client doesn't understand namefmt.

Hopefully you get the idea...

Thank you. NAMEFMT 1 did the trick

(not sure but maybe LOCSITE is optional ?)

Working on an FTP GET command to get a text file onto a folder in our

Here is our command and the error:

Any suggestions much appreciated!


You're in the QSYS.LIB file system and naming convention.

I think you're looking for:

LOCSITE NAMEFMT 1
