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

can anyone tell me why this cannot find the file on the remote i IFS?
I can assure you the file is there plain as day.
