Re: FTP question

In practice, when you ftp successfully to a host system, your current
directory on the PC side is the one where you started ftp. Running lcd
with no parameters would say "C:\somepath" is now the current directory.
But you were already there. So it's not changing anything anyway.

The same occurs on the IBMi. When you just log in, if your user profile
has an associated /home/yourUserProfile directory, that will be the current
host directory. Running cd with no parameters, would just do nothing but
reaffirm that this is now your current directory, but it actually does not
change anything.

I have never used lcd without a parameter, either - it means "local
change directory", so it is changing directory on the client. If I want
to know what directory I am in locally, I use lpwd - local present
working directory.

To do the same on the server, just use the same functions without the
leading "l" - cd and pwd.

Not sure what lcd without any parameter is supposed to do. I think, it's

merely printing your current working directory so you know "where you are".
Thus, probably not needed.
