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. "

Please give us more information. Example FTP session would be a good beginning. And please explain what you would expect to happen when things "go wrong", according to your thinking.

Also, what's your eventual goal? Maybe your approach isn't optimal?

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?

I don't know why you deal with stream file vs. qsys src file member copying. It's perfectly possible ftp FTP from and to stream files, as well as from and to qsys members.

I strongly advise to learn command line FTP which is there on Windows, too. Those point'n'click tools appear overly complicated to me and they often cannot parse directory listings when they don't look like what Linux gives back.
