Re: FTP manual and Regarding stream file on IFS

I'm glad you finally moved the file you needed to move.
Some points:

- Once you decide on system naming (namefmt 0) or IFS naming (namefmt
1) just stick with it. You don't need to go back and forth. The syntax is
slightly different but learning both will assist in your knowledge gain.
- FTP is not aware of member types, so in an earlier example one post
showed how to use a CL command to change the type to RPGLE (or any other
type for that matter) Learning to run a CL command from FTP is a powerful
tool.

Questions

- To transfer from your desktop to the IFS, stay in namefmt 1, and
change the put to "put mytextfile.txt /home/myprofile/mytextfile.txt"
assuming you want it in /home/yourprofile directory. change that directory
to anywhere you have authority. On PUB400 that will be somewhat limited
for obvious reasons.
- Once the file is on the system you have a series of different ways to
copy the file. From PDM simply put a "3" in front of the member and it
will ask you where to put it. If you use WRKLNK to get to the IFS, then
set your current directory where you want the file and again use option 3
to move/copy it.

You need to learn quite a bit about basic IBM i file types structures. I
suggest you join COMMON (common.org) and run through the bootcamps. That
will get you quite some ways into your education of IBM i.

Thanks , it did work like below. I was able to send the contents of this
'callstack' text file from my desktop to member 'Callstack' inside K211/SR1
here.
like below:-

C:\Users\u1>ftp pub400.com
Connected to pub400.com.
220-QTCP at PUB400.COM.
220 Connection will close if idle more than 1666 minutes.
501 OPTS unsuccessful; specified subcommand not recognized.
User (pub400.com:(none)): k21

550 Current directory requires name format 1.
ftp> quote site namefmt 1
250 Now using naming format "1".
ftp> lcd C:\Users\u1\Desktop
Local directory now C:\Users\u1\Desktop.
ftp> cd /QSYS.LIB/K211.LIB
250 "/QSYS.LIB/K211.LIB" is current library.
ftp> quote site namefmt 0
250 Now using naming format "0".
ftp> put callstack.txt SR1.CALLSTACK (replace
200 PORT subcommand request successful.
150 Sending file to member CALLSTACK in file SR1 in library K211.
226 File transfer completed successfully.

So similarly : 1) if i want to transfer any text file from my desktop to a
particular IFS director's path then what would be similar kind of steps
could some one please provide example like above i gave with all the steps.


2) Once it's transferred successfully there on 'pub400.com' after
following above step1) then how to copy that text file's content in to any
source member which is blank i mean just for this recent example if i want
the file which is there on IFS path( with Type as S'TMF' and under the
object link ) then i want to copy that into the mentioned library as
K211 and source physical file name as 'SR1' ( K211/SR1) and in it's some
other member name let's say 'callstack1'. i mean i want data of this file
from IFS path to source member of SR1 then how to do this ( any example,
like I shared my FTP session above or with proper steps ( with screenshots
probably) which needs to be followed inside IBM i please) ?




Thanks
