use multiple FTPs
over OS/400 comand line mkdir unix
over UNIX FTP:
user
password
cd / <--important
bin <-- or ascii? you need to probe
cd unix
mput *.* <-or whatever

for the moment I recommend that you need to learn fast PASE IBM® Portable Application Solutions Environment for i (PASE for i) and have it installed Option 33 (5770-SS1 - Portable Application Solutions Environment) whoever installs the AS400 system asks you to install it, GOOD LUCK!

Team, I am a non-AS400 Team Lead and my experience is in UNIX side. I have
a migration coming up where a customer is shipping IBM hardware (914) to
our datacenter and a tape drive (TS3100).

I have a S824 with some IBMi core license, but no tape drive.
I got the AS400 Team to install a fresh IBMi (7.x) on an LPAR.

Is there any way I can migrate things without tape? My IBMi engineers are
uncomfortable, at the same time on the UNIX side, we never do a bare metal
installation like Full system save and restore.

I am very uncomfortable doing this over the weekend without a backout plan,
since once the hardware is shipped I am in the hook.

Tape drive is the only option?

Thank you for your quick response.
