Patrik, you should be able to start an FTP session without connecting,
or connecting to a bogus destination, and then issuing OPEN within the
session for your "real" connection.

So, I would think you can issue NAMEFMT in the "empty" session before
issuing OPEN. At least it's worth a try. (I cannot test this for
myself at the moment.)

Thanks for that hint! Don't know how tell the IBM client to *not* initiate authentication right after start.

You don't have to suppress it, you just have to use an initial
destination that is invalid, or that you don't mind spamming.
Presumably you could set it up to connect to localhost initially.

I can't find the reference again at the moment, but before I sent my
previous response, I read an official IBM page that said you can't
avoid having *some* initial destination on the FTP command, simply
because of the command syntax, but that you *could* use a bogus
initial destination (to satisfy the syntax), and then still use OPEN
subsequently during the session.
