Re: Transfer of AS/400 File to PC (Excel)

I think Win98 does work. It would help to see the full script of what you
are entering.
I just did this on my Win98

ftp 209.12.xxx.xxx                as400 address
user xxxxxx
pass xxxxxxx
pwd                            (present working dir-display  current dir on
400 = returned "QGPL"
lcd                                (local directory-display pc current
dir-returned c:\windows
cd /bncf                        (cd on the SERVER-chg my dir on 400 to ifs
dir /bncf
lcd c:\                            (local chg dir-change dir on my win98 pc
to c:\
get bnc25.gif                (copied file from as400 /bncf dir to win98 pc
dir c:\
quit


the part to remember-lcd is "local" or client
cd is change dir on server (as400 you ftp logged onto (or NT or Unix or
whatever)
i've missed any previous posts you sent earlier in week.
hope this helps
