Re: FTP manual and Regarding stream file on IFS

[tim ken <timk2574@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I just referred this document for FTP :-
https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/ftp-example-transfer-ascii-text-file

but from my local desktop to pub400.com when trying to ftp a text file then
getting this error when i do cd command :-
"
550-Specified directory does not exist or cannot be accessed.
550 Working directory not changed. "


Also with respect to IFS path's query , i want to know if there is a file
with .txt type in a particular path then how can we copy it in to a source
member (blank source member whose type is RPGLE)  I was able to transfer
that .txt file using filezilla on IFS path but from there unable to copy it
in to a source member of  a particular source physical file and library, so
how to do so?


Thanks.
