Re: simple ftp ifs to ifs

Jay,

There really isn't any "trick" to it, and you don't appear to be doing 
anything wrong.  The error simply means that the FTP server can't find a 
file with that name at that location.

I suggest verifying to make sure there aren't any blanks or other 
unprintable characters in the filename.  I've run across situations 
where people have made a file named "text.TXTbbbb" (where "bbbb" are 
blanks) by accident.  Since you can't see the blanks, it can cause a lot 
of confusion.

Aside from that -- my only suggestion would be that you're not really in 
the directory you think you are.  For example, if you're accessing from 
Windows via a mapped drive, you may think that \\server\ptenctest2 is 
the same as IFS path /ptenctest2, but it isn't necessarily --  you can 
create a Windows Networking Share with the name ptenctest2 that's 
located somewhere different in your IFS from /ptenctest2.   So to verify 
the file location, I recommend using something like WRKLNK or a Unix 
shell instead of a mapped network drive to avoid confusion.

Good luck
